‘After the Tide’ explores the pressing issue of coastal erosion and how the idyllic village of Happisburgh in Norfolk, UK, is threatened by a new wave of government policy. Across the UK, coastal erosion has been a constant threat, with many villages lost over centuries to the encroaching tide. However, with the threat of climate change, a dramatic rise in sea levels and hard defences failing, these communities are facing rapid rates of erosion which threaten their way of life.
