Co-Presented with Hip Hop Caucus &amp; Climate Film Festival as Part of Climate Week NYC Screening includes pre-recorded conversations with the filmmakers and Rev. Lennox Yearwood. Both moderated by Mustafa Santiago Ali.

Norfolk, Virginia is sinking. The already insufficient sea wall ends where a public housing project, St. Paul’s, begins. St. Paul’s housing projects' residents are Black people. Norfolk is home to the world’s largest naval base and there is currently no public plan to prevent it from going underwater. Instead, the local government, in partnership with federal agencies, is investing in what is labeled a “climate resilience” plan to tear down public housing and redevelop what is an historic Black community, the St. Paul’s district. Underwater Projects unpacks this redevelopment plan from the perspective of community leaders and members, government officials, scientists, and climate, and national security experts.
