is
a thirty-minute retrospective documentary that reveals
the unique but hidden history of Martha's Vineyard Island
off the coast of Massachusetts. It traces the establishment
of the Black community from the 1700's to the present.
This community has preserved its traditions and outlooks
as the Vineyard has changed on all sides. Five generations
of year-round residents and summer visitors contribute
their perspective in this story of a place in the sun
that has thrived for more than two centuries.
