A documentary examining the impact of cruise tourism's explosive growth in Sitka will debut this weekend on national television.
The national debut culminates years of work on the part of Frankenstein and her co-director Atman Mehta , who explored both the potential benefits and downsides of cruise tourism’s explosive growth in Sitka .
“Cruise Boom,” however, is not a scathing indictment of the industry. Frankenstein wants the audience to think broadly about what’s unfolding, as communities react to the surging numbers. Frankenstein and Mehta intend the film to stimulate conversation. In fact, there are several scenes in the movie that are just conversation – Sitkans discussing how to confront, and possibly manage, the rapid growth.
“I don’t want us to be a destination. I value our community, because we’re a community. You know, the pulp mill sustained the community for years, but had excesses in how much it logged and how fast it logged in the environment. Cruise ships is a similar thing.”
