The Storm, a Hurricane Sandy Documentary by Charles Denson

This month is the10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy. On October 21, Coney Island History Project Director Charles Denson’s documentary “The Storm” will be screening at the Coney Island Brewery on Surf Avenue. Denson rode out Superstorm Sandy in Sea Gate, where his apartment and car were destroyed by the storm surge. Denson recorded dramatic footage of the storm coming ashore on the evening of October 29, 2012, as well as the preparations for the storm, the surge at Coney Island and Sea Gate, and the storm’s aftermath. This film is timely, as the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has just released the New York Harbor Coastal Resiliency Plan, a plan that will have extreme consequences for Coney Island and the surrounding shorefront communities and gives no guarantees that any of the projects will work. If many of the measures proposed in this $52-billion-dollar plan are implemented, it could result in an environmental nightmare for local waterways, provide only marginal protection, and exacerbate flooding. Come to the screening to find out more about the plan.
