"Our Island Home", a documentary directed and filmed by James Spione, is based on the oral histories of three Hog Island natives.  The film is a powerful tribute to the sturdy islanders who lived off the land and water, and realized they had to work with nature and not against it.

The entire film is an exhibit available for viewing at the Barrier Islands Center. To see more films and projects by James Spione, please visit "American Farm" .
