Who knew this was a big problem?  Hardly anyone. That's why we made this film. 

Landslides occur in every neighborhood in Cincinnati and throughout our region.  Private property can not get landslide insurance coverage or financial assistance for repairs, so landslides can destroy a homeowner's largest lifetime investment.

Taxpayers are also paying the price, with local governments spending millions of dollars each year to repair slides and also fix retaining walls and roads related to landslides.

Produced over a 2-year period, our film documents the Columbia Parkway landslide repair and features amazing stories of people who've suffered landslides on their properties. We include steps people and governments can take to "live" with landslides.  With climate change, landslides will only get worse.

Living with Landslides  aired on KET (KY PBS) in September 2023. on CET (PBS Cincinnati in January 2023, and it premiered on WCPO-TV Cincinnati in September 2022.  It was commissioned by the Hillside Trust and funded by generous private donors. 

Cincinnati Council is considering law and policy changes related to landslides,inspired by our documentary.   Upon request, we offer screenings for local civic and educational groups.
