14 Miles

14 Miles There's fourteen miles of paved road from one end of town in Sitka, AK to the other. And there are stories to tell. An ongoing series.

Serious, wry, curious: we’re digging and uncovering what just might get passed by, even on an island town with only 14 miles of road from one end to the other. Our goal is to create and post new short films every 2 weeks. The stories we want to share are local, but universal too. If 14 Miles resonates, these chapters will come together to create a sense of time and place and how we connect – and how we don’t – to the world "off the rock”.

Exciting news! "Cruise Boom" is coming to WORLD Channel! Watch it Sunday, January 5th at 7:00 PM EST or Monday, January 6th at 5:00 AM EST.

"Cruise Boom" explores life during cruise tourism season in Sitka, Alaska—a small fishing town nestled between glacial mountains and an island-studded sea. As global tourism booms, local residents grapple with its impacts, benefits, and control. The film examines crucial questions: Who profits from tourism? How much is too much? What does it mean to be a responsible visitor?

WORLD Channel brings you the personal stories behind the headlines through informative programming. To watch, find WORLD Channel on your local public station. Check your location and visit your local WORLD Channel Schedule.

"According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA), an estimated 35.7 million people are expected to cruise this year, 4 million more than 2023. Cruise lines will unveil more than 40 new ships over the next three years, including nine that can carry more than 5,000 passengers." —The Washington Post, December 15, 2024 (Article: https://wapo.st/3Bo4QTH)

This new Washington Post article captures the growing tension and resistance against cruise ship expansions—and mentions the documentary "Cruise Boom!"
