The first of the BIC’s documentary films produced in partnership with filmmaker James Spione, Our Island Home, was released in 2010. In this poignant documentary, three former inhabitants of the long-lost settlement of Broadwater recall their unique way of life on Hog Island, 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 Americal coastal history. The film also includes bonus footage about the history and ecology of the Virginia Barrier Islands.
