Academy Award-nominated director James Spione continues his acclaimed series of Eastern Shore documentaries with a fascinating exploration of the story of the Cobb family from Massachusetts who settled on a deserted barrier island off the coast of Virginia in the 1830s. The story of the Cobbs is a great American tale about uprooting yourself and your family, finding a new home, and through sheer grit, determination, and perseverance through tragedy and setbacks, ultimately thriving in that new place. The Cobbs took a big, empty sand bar and created a vibrant, working community for nearly 100 years.
