This 2004 "Monty" award-winning film, "We Are All Smith Islanders," demonstrates how global warming is changing the Chesapeake Bay region, using the waning livelihoods of Smith Island watermen as its main example.
The film explores how global warming is affecting agriculture, wildlife, health and tourism throughout the Chesapeake Bay, and how the crisis is expected to deepen without immediate action. The film also looks at clean energy solutions that can help slow and possibly stop human-induced global warming in the region.
Producer Mark Cohen and author Mike Tidwell made the documentary for the non-profit organization, Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN).
