Hurricane to Climate Change - Trailer

This is a trailer for a forthcoming documentary film being produced by the Monadnock Institute at Franklin Pierce University.

The film has been funded thus far by grants from the Putnam Foundation and the New Hampshire Humanities Council. It explores the impact on lives and communities of the great New England Hurricane of 1938 and more recent extreme weather events in the Monadnock region of southwest New Hampshire that scientists claim are the result of global climate change. The film highlights the contemporary efforts of local communities to both adapt the infrastructure of the region to climate change and to mitigate its future impact through building new local institutions of economic and ecological sustainability.
