Between The Tides (a documentary film)
What would you do if rising seas salinated your crops, submerged your home and threatened to displace hundreds of millions of your people?
The inhabitants of Bangladesh and India are currently fighting this battle on the front lines of climate change. The first casualty of this war – an entire inhabited island washed away. Thousands of people have been forced to migrate to overpopulated urban centers like Calcutta and Dhaka. When cyclone Sidr hit in November of 2007, it reminded Bengali villagers that a new breed of powerful storm is becoming the norm, not the exception. “Between the Tides” is a fifty-minute award-winning film that puts a human face on the true consequences of climate change. It translates this story from a language of theory to one of tangible and tragic reality.
