An Island Out of Time
Special | 25m 2s | Video has closed captioning.
This documentary about Smith Island features Mary Ada and Dwight Marshall whose lives personify the Chesapeake Bay’s seafood-harvesting culture and history, and their four children who chose to break with that tradition. Like Tom Horton's 1996 book, the film is both a celebration and elegy for a place beset with erosion, dwindling population and vanishing economic opportunities.
