An Island Out of Time (2019)

This half-hour documentary 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. The film, like Horton's 1996 book, An Island Out of Time, is both a celebration and elegy for a place beset with erosion, dwindling population and vanishing economic opportunities. A film by Tom Horton, Dave Harp, and Sandy Cannon-Brown.
