‘What Comes After The Flood’ follows the story of Tenbury Wells, a picturesque medieval town in central England. Now, after a series of devastating floods, it has been ominously labelled the ‘UK's first uninhabitable town.’ Not because life there is impossible, but because homes, businesses and even the town hall are now uninsurable.
Our film explores the profound yet underestimated impact the insurance industry has on our daily lives, our communities, and the future of our planet. Through the lens of this small English town, we witness the human cost of the uninsurability crisis, the fierce power and resilience of community, and the urgent race to secure our collective future before the waters rise for good.
