A film about a future that is already a reality.</div><div><br></div><div>Bangladesh is one of the places in the world most vulnerable to climate change. The coasts are low-lying and the areas near the river delta are vulnerable to rising sea levels, cyclones and storm surges. During the monsoon season, the country floods, rivers swell and change their channels, moving up to 20 meters each year.</div><div><br></div><div>With the risk of a natural disaster hanging over their heads, Lokhi and her family are preparing to leave their home before everything washes away. They are migrating to Dhaka, and they are far from alone. Thousands of climate refugees arrive every day in the capital, but how long will Dhaka be able to accommodate so many people?</div><div><br></div><div>By 2050, a large part of the southern coastline will be uninhabitable and 30 million people will be displaced, the largest mass migration in human history. Faced with this inevitable reality, Bangladeshis are fighting for climate justice and compensation before it is too late.</div><div><br></div><div>This screening is part of&nbsp;<a href="https://www.filmhouse.org.uk/doc-screen">Doc Screen</a>, an initiative run by Scottish Documentary Institute (SDI) in partnership with Filmhouse.&nbsp;</div>DocumentaryPT1H25MN/C 182026-06-20
