28Oct
During the first weeks after Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast on October 29, 2012, IIL Media visited a number of devastated areas, interviewing small business owners and documenting the impact on their businesses and communities. The result was IIL’s Original Series Weathering the Storm, which told compelling stories of crisis and recovery; loss and resiliency; community and connection.
Prior to the second anniversary of Hurricane Sandy, IIL Media revisited some of those communities to see how the recovery effort is going. Their stories are a testament to the fortitude of small business owners.
