New Orleans Saints Win the Superbowl
How American Football success cheered up New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
In 2010, the New Orleans Saints swept to victory in the Superbowl - the biggest prize in American sport. The win came just five years after Hurricane Katrina devastated the city and severely damaged the Saints' own stadium, the Superdome. Former Saints player, Jermon Bushrod, recalls how the Superbowl run helped lift the spirits of New Orleans. The programme is a Whistledown Production.
