Lake Enriquillo, the saltwater basin at the lowest point in the Caribbean, has been rising for years, swallowing farmland, roads, and stands of trees that now stand dead and gray in the water like something scorched. The film travels to the Dominican Republic to show the scale of the flooding firsthand, with footage of submerged palm groves, displaced farmers, and communities trying to figure out where the water is coming from and when it will stop. Scientists and local residents offer competing explanations, from shifting tectonic plates to changing rainfall patterns tied to climate change, and the film lets both sides make their case rather than settling on one culprit. What comes through clearly is the economic toll: cattle pasture and cropland lost for good, families relocated, and a slow-moving disaster that gets little attention outside the region. The drowned forest becomes the film's central image, a landscape killed by water rather than fire, and a warning about what a warming climate can do to a low-lying country with few resources to adapt.
