SUMMARY:Film Screening of Inundation District and Q&A with Director
DESCRIPTION:Details for this event can be found on the First Parish Church
 in Weston website.\n\nJoin us for a documentary film screening followed by
 Q&amp\;A with the Director and Boston Globe Reporter\, David
 Abel.\n\nINUNDATION DISTRICT is an award-winning documentary film about the
 development of Boston’s “Innovation District” (formerly known as the
 “Seaport” District\, ominously enough). The film explores the
 implications of the city’s decision to ignore the threats posed by
 climate change and spend billions of dollars on building a new waterfront
 district — on landfill\, at sea level.\n\nThis event is co-hosted by the
 MetroWest Climate Solutions group.\n\nAbout Inundation District:\nIn a time
 of rising seas and intensifying storms\, one of the world’s wealthiest\,
 most-educated cities made a fateful decision to spend billions of dollars
 erecting a new district along its coast — on landfill\, at sea level.
 Unlike other places imperiled by climate change\, this neighborhood of
 glass towers housing some of the world’s largest companies was built well
 after scientists began warning of the threats\, including many at its
 renowned universities. The city\, which already has more high-tide flooding
 than nearly any other in the United States\, called its new quarter the
 Innovation District. But with seas rising inexorably\, and at an
 accelerating rate\, others are calling the neighborhood by a different
 name: Inundation District. The 79-minute film won Best Conservation Film at
 the Mystic Film Festival as well as the Monadnock International Film
 Festival’s Jonathan Daniels Award\, which is given to films that “fuse
 social and/or political awareness with artistic excellence and encompasses
 Jonathan Daniels courage by telling stories of hope\, redemption\, and the
 triumph of the human spirit.”
