An Island Out of Time
Special | 25m 2sVideo has Closed Captions
Smith Island’s erosion, dwindling population and vanishing economic opportunities.
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.
