376 Hale St, Beverly MA 01915
When Tuesday, April, 9th @ 6:00pm - 8:00pm
What Endicott will be hosting the North Shore premiere of the film Inundation District, which tells the story of Boston’s $20 billion investment into the Seaport area — on landfill, at sea level, with rising tides and increasing storm events as a result of climate change. The film also includes threads of environmental justice concerns, details about the design and engineering of the Seaport, and how businesses were attracted to a formerly undesirable location resulting in the booming Seaport we know today. Following the film will be a brief Q&A with the Pulitzer-prize winning reporter/producer, David Abel. At the conclusion of the event, there will be refreshments, hors d'oeuvres, and tabling by local environmental organizations working to be a part of the solution.
