Black Water

In southern Bangladesh, Lokhi and her family flee an increasingly extreme climate in an attempt to reach Dhaka, the fastest-growing city in the world. What is unfolding in the country today foreshadows the future of the planet: by 2050, Bangladesh is expected to have a population of around 220 million, while large parts of its territory will be permanently submerged, forcing millions into exile. The film takes the form of a thriller, moving from the intimacy of a family to the apocalyptic collapse of cities.
