Underwater Projects: A Film Screening | Norfolk State University

Home to the world’s largest naval base, Norfolk, Virginia is sinking. It is more vulnerable than even New Orleans. The insufficient flood walls end where a housing project and a historic African American community begins. Underwater Projects mixes animation with live action to profile the area’s local leaders as they rush to create climate resilience plans to face an uncertain future. The film features narration by comedian Wanda Sykes and is directed by Liz Havstad. Join us on Thursday, October 3rd at Norfolk State University, Dorothy B. Brother’s Auditorium to watch and discuss this important film with members from the Norfolk community.
