The Great Molasses Flood: A Winter Afternoon in the North End

A calm, slow telling of a true story to help you drift off. On a mild winter afternoon in 1919, a great tank of molasses gives way in Boston’s North End. The neighbourhood comes together for the long work of putting things right, and the story ends in a quiet park on the waterfront.

Soft rain plays throughout. No sudden sounds.
