Abstract: "Taking viewers deep inside a devastated landscape, this program examines physical forces directly tied to flooding in Bangladesh as well as the broader causes of such disasters, including climate change. It also explores the social, economic, and environmental impact of intense flooding through the personal accounts of people living by major rivers and on Bangladesh's char lands, areas built up from river sediment. Examples of flood management strategies are explored, with a look at the pros and cons of hard and soft engineering. Additionally, the film shows how NGOs are working with flood affected communities to reduce the developing worlds vulnerability to future floods. A part of the series Tropical Storms and Flooding in Bangladesh"--www.films.com (Mar. 20, 2012).
