WHRO Public Media and WORLD present a new documentary about life on the Eastern Shore and the challenges of living and working on the water!

WHRV's Lisa Godley will moderate a discussion after the screening, and she will be joined by a panel of experts (including VIMS PhD candidate and W&M undergraduate alumna Kayla Cahoon) as well as people who appeared in the film. Attendees will also enjoy giveaways and fun activities.

Light refreshments and snacks will be provided free of charge for guests. This event is free and open to the public, but registration is required at the link below.


ABOUT THE FILM: “Against the Current” provides a powerful glimpse of how Virginia’s Eastern Shore residents are subject to the challenges of rising water’s effects on their lives and livelihood and through resilience and perseverance learn to co-exist and celebrate their rural home. How can this unique community shed light on the national conversations happening around these climate issues?"
