St. Helena Island is a magical place on the South Carolina coastline. African Americans have farmed and fished here for centuries: first as plantation slaves, then as freedmen owning small subsistence operations. It’s now one of the last farming communities on the East Coast that hasn’t been swallowed up by development. But the Gullah/Geechee traditions here are in danger. This documentary looks at four families who use modern techniques to preserve their land and their way of life. Can they pass their heritage on to another generation? Or will the pristine quality of their land and water be lost forever?
