FILM ONE: Eroding History tells the story of two Black communities on Deal Island, on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, that are finding themselves at the intersection of sea level rise, historic racism, and the disappearance of Black communities. It is a climate justice story, made by two Black filmmakers and a Jewish grandchild of refugees. A deeply personal and moving story of a community striving to hold on to its culture, Eroding History is anything but dry. Post film panel discussion with the film’s director (André Chung) and its co-writer & producer (Rona Kobell) and University of Maine Climate Scientist and Associate Professor of Paleoecology & Plant Ecology Jacqueline Gill, Ph.D. The panel will be moderated by Assistant Professor Haley Schneider, Ph.D. of the Department of Communication and Journalism.
