Video Description

In November 2019, over 80% of the historic city of Venice was submerged overnight. The worst flooding since 1966 destroyed businesses, flooded the crypt of St. Mark’s Basilica, and revealed the catastrophic failure of a multi-billion euro effort meant to save the city from rising seas. Death of Venice investigates how decades of political corruption, environmental mismanagement, and rising global sea levels brought one of the world’s most beautiful cities to the brink of collapse. Drawing from hundreds of raw videos, first-hand photos, and expert testimony — including physicists, architects, historians, and everyday Venetians — this powerful documentary reconstructs the disaster and uncovers what went wrong.• How did a €6 billion project fail when it mattered most?• Is Venice’s destruction now inevitable?• And who is really paying the price? This is more than a story of flooding — it’s a warning to the world. If Venice can’t be saved… what city is next?
