Rising Waters is a film project by students of Mount Hope High School, teachers, and the Collaborative. It is an investigation of the threat posed by climate change to the small Rhode Island town of Warren and its more than 11,000 residents. The film centers on a particularly vulnerable neighborhood near Belcher Cove and the Kickemuit River that could disappear by the end of the century, as well as the radical plan the town adopted to respond to this threat.
30 min. run time, followed by a 30 min. Q&A with Kristin Read & Wenley Ferguson
