- Summary:
- In a small Alaskan island town a large public cruise ship dock is twice rejected by voters. A local business builds and expands a private dock with the help of a large global cruise ship corporation. Some are elated by the economic opportunity, others feel it threatens the very heart of the community. Nestled between glacial mountains and an island studded sea, Sitka, Alaska is home of the Lingít Aaní (Tlingit ) and a large small boat family fishery. No stranger to boom and bust economies, a once thriving pulp mill closed in Sitka years ago. Cruise Boom is a portrait of a town dealing with the possibilities and perils of global tourism. This 55 minute documentary asks who benefits from tourism, how much tourism is enough, and what it means to be a visitor.
