*************************************

Join Florida Humanities and WGCU Public Media for a powerful evening of film and conversation exploring the lasting impact of one of Florida’s most devastating storms.

Rising: Surviving the Surge is a compelling new documentary that traces how Hurricane Ian reshaped Southwest Florida, and how the region continues to endure and adapt in the face of increasingly powerful storms. Featuring dramatic storm footage, first-hand survivor accounts, and insights from scientists, first responders, and community leaders, the film offers a sobering look at the realities of storm surge and resilience.

Guests are encouraged to stick around after the movie for a panel discussion with local historians who will explore Florida’s long and complex relationship with hurricanes.
