In a time of rising seas and intensifying storms, one of the world’s wealthiest, most-educated cities (Boston) made a fateful decision to spend billions of dollars erecting a new district along its coast – on landfill, at sea level. The Seaport neighborhood was built well after scientists began warning of the climate threats. Boston already has more high-tide flooding than nearly any other city in the United States. Talk back after the film with director, David Abel.

From the makers of Sacred Cod and Entangled (both of which were based in part in Gloucester), Inundation District is a 79-minute film produced by The Boston Globe.
