So Flo Floods
01:20:00
Overview
Miami Beach is ground zero in the USA for Sea Level Rise (SLR), investing hundreds of millions of dollars to install pumps and other infrastructure to handle "King Tide" flooding and fight back the most immediate effects of global warming. But there is a much bigger story to be told of floods in South Florida including ancient--and future--floods. From Lake Okeechobee, to Stuart, to Belle Glade, to the Everglades, So Flo Floods tells the story of these floods and the issues surrounding where the region is going and what it will need to confront if SLR continues as anticipated. Not only is South Florida home to some of the most knowledgeable experts in the world on SLR, but also to many with related expertise that help So Flo Floods paint a picture of South Florida's economic, environmental, and political realities going forward. There are differences of opinion about what's to come and what to do about it-but not that it's here. We interview professors, mayors, writers, historians, engineers, and others and support their stories with archival and current footage, as well as animation and aerial footage captured over the past two years.Director
