The Venetian Dilemma

Few can resist Venice's magical allure, but with more than 14 million visitors a year, Italy's glorious city of canals faces a number of threats. This documentary examines issues at the heart of Venice's precarious future. Interviews reveal a city in crisis -- politician Roberto plans to modernize Venice, while environmentalist Paolo wages a battle against tourist power-boat shuttles and Michela tries to maintain Venice's residential population.
