The devastating impact of climate change in Bangladesh is told through the story of a family overwhelmed by rising waters. By 2050, much of the country will be submerged and up to 30 million people may be forced to migrate. How long can Dhaka hold out? Where will everyone go when the cities collapse? Black Water is a tale of survival and hope, a poignant portrait of humanity enduring amid environmental devastation.
