Welcome to Versailles--home to the most ethnically dense Vietnamese population outside Vietnam. For more than 30 years, its residents lived a quiet existence on the edge of New Orleans.  But then came Hurricane Katrina, the immense piles of garbage, and the shocking discovery of a toxic landfill planned just miles away.  Watch the Versailles residents' inspiring story as they fight back, turning a devastating disaster into a catalyst for change and a chance to build a better future.
