I Love the Accent! Thank you for Sharing...much Love, Las Cruces, NM....I have never eaten a Lobster! LOL
I agree, thanks for taking the time to make this and provide very interesting insights into an area my wife and I have been looking into. Would love to see more.
Excellent documentary. It’s a beautiful area that I’ve visited several times. I was aware in general of the challenges faced by the local community and economy. It was good to hear their stories firsthand.
The road to the rural regions is paved with broken promises from those who express good intentions but fail to act.
Was there 2 weeks ago...Such a beautiful place!I I had been before and loved it...brought my wife to see the area and she was amazed. I hope to come back again soon. Interesting to hear the history. Great place with great people. Great job.
Really great video:) Amazing voices.
excellent mini doc! stonington has my attention!
Amazing little documentary. I am visiting Stonington soon and love to know the truth about the struggles and pressures for the residents up there.
this video speaks to me
The housing crisis in downeast Maine creates barriers for new entrants/new family formation that are so significant that these communities simply cannot grow and are on trajectories of steep full time population decline. Look at school enrollments in nearly any of these communities to see clear evidence that these places are on trajectories to be unviable in terms of being functional places for year round residents to live.
Cool video. Great info ℹ️ (pacing would be better without the “fade to black”)
Great documentary video. Very well done. Sounds like Stonington needs government to do less *to* them more than do more for them.

To bad none of the young guys can get a lobster license when the old lobster man gets done he keeps his license for the last 15 years while he is in the nursing home the family sells the house to some from Mass
Sea Level in the gulf of Maine used to be 120 meters lower than it is now. I think we will be ok. Living on the coast not to far from here I do worry about the fisheries. Nice film thanks
Please tell me you got a 100 on this

Reading the Book of Revelation helps with fears of Global Warming! Truly!
We have so many people seeking asylum, and so many will come due to climate change, maybe move them to these dying towns, revive the towns, give the people somewhere to live and bring their skills. Win win
