| SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO THE PEOPLE OF THE GULF |
Around Valentines Day of this year, we received a film from a region
we had never received a film from before. It is called "Gulf Islands."
It's a documentary about the Gulf Islands National Seashore Park,
specifically the Barrier Islands of Mississippi. The film introduces you to
the resources of the region, but more importantly you meet a variety of
people who love their islands. From artists to scientists, to some older
folks who have probably lived in the area for generations.
We realized that up until Earth Day, this could have been Anytown USA.
In the 75 days that have followed this disaster it has been really hard
not to call the Filmmaker Robbie Fisher. Robbie put alot of heart into
the film, and his heart must be broken. So on Saturday July 24th, on
opening night, we will screen his film under the stars on Hanalei Bay.
And send our hearts to Robbie, and all the people of the Gulf.
