The high price of a 'no active intervention' coastal policy
In short: In North Norfolk, residents are watching their lives literally wash away. This film captures the human toll of relentless coastal erosion and the emotional struggle of communities facing a government policy that prioritizes non-intervention over preservation.
The documentary follows the people of Hayesborough as they navigate the loss of homes, memories, and community structures to the sea. It highlights the specific tension between personal resilience and the official 'no active intervention' stance taken by the government regarding coastal erosion.
By focusing on individual stories of anger and loss, the film illustrates the immediate human cost of a changing climate where geography is no longer permanent.
