Our Island Home
A documentary film by James Spione
In this poignant documentary from award-winning filmmaker James Spione, three former denizens of the long-lost settlement of Broadwater recall their unique way of life on a remote barrier island off Virginia’s Eastern Shore.
Featuring rare archival photographs
of the evocative landscapes and
sturdy families who once inhabited
this austere and beautiful area,
Our Island Home provides a moving,
eye-opening account of a little
known chapter in American coastal
history.
Now available from Morninglight
Films, the special Our Island Home Expanded Edition DVD also contains lots of additional material not seen in the PBS broadcast of the movie, including all-new scenes about the history and ecology of what is now
the longest stretch of wild coastline
remaining on the east coast of the
United States.
Fascinating! Compelling stories of a way of life that has disappeared... a fabulous film!
