The Madeira River - (c) WWF
The largest bay in the United States is dying. But the Chesapeake Bay, once brimming with life and commerce, is not dying alone. It's taking with it a way of life for the thousands of watermen whose families have made their living on the Bay for generations. This documentary weaves two tales: the inspiring story of a family of watermen tirelessly trying to preserve their life working the waters of the Bay, and the story of a bay battered by development and pollution yet struggling to stay alive. Narrated by Sam Waterston. Directed and produced by Laura Seltzer.
"Chesapeake Bay Program" welcome by Elizabeth Buckman, Vice President, Communications, Chesapeake Bay Foundation. The Last Boat Out introduction by filmmaker Laura Seltzer.
Shown with THE RUNOFF DILEMMA, STURGEON: EGGS TO DIE FOR & WATERMEN
