Facing the Surge is a 25-minute film about the effects of sea level rise on Norfolk Virginia. Facing the Surge documents the tangible costs of sea level rise for the people of Norfolk, VA. Norfolk is home to the largest naval base in the country and to thousands of hard-working Americans struggling to adapt to the rising tides and an uncertain future. But Facing the Surge is not a film about loss and inaction. It tells the stories of citizens from across the United States as they step forward to raise awareness and push their government to solve climate change. After the showings, there will be a discussion of the general predictions and impacts of sea level rise. This film is being co-sponsored by the Citizens' Climate Lobby (CCL) and GINI. It will be shown at the Washington County Public Library in Jonesborough on January 17th at 2:00 and 6:00 p.m. It will be shown on January 22nd at 2:00 p.m. at St. John's Episcopal Church in Johnson City.
