    Hell or High Water Trailer
    2023/04/06
    Some disasters arrive all of a sudden: a wave, a quake, a raging fire. Others are slow-moving, even subtle. Water where it didn’t used to be. Heat that burns through the night. Trees gone white. But no matter what form it takes, disaster is a daily reality for more and more of us, at once ordinary and shattering. In this series from Vox Media and Audible Originals, we visit six communities across the US that are contending with disaster. We go beyond crisis coverage to explore the deeper questions: When disaster hits, what forces determine who stays, who goes, and what we do with what’s left? How did we get here in the first place? How far does our sense of community extend? Once land, cities, and buildings are repaired, who do we become? How do we keep remaking our sense of home?

Not everyone is willing to go.

    We visit two places on the coast of South Carolina. Both face rising waters and shifting sands, due to a mix of natural and human forces.
