- Documentary tracing the history of Storyville, the notorious--and legal--red-light district of New Orleans, Louisiana, that thrived from 1897 to 1917. Established in 1897 by the city to control prostitution (and named for the local politician who first drew up the plans and regulations for it), it became almost a source of pride for locals.
