They are nine rocky, barren islands set about 10 miles off the New England coast and divided by Maine and New Hampshire. But despite their bleakness they've contributed greatly to our state’s history, as a prosperous fishing village in the 1600's, a center for arts, thoughts and ideas in the 1800's and a place for spiritual renewal as well as marine and environmental science today. We’ll talk to the producer of the first ever film documentary on the Isles of Shoals about their long history and what they've come to represent for our state.

Guests

• Andrea Melville, producer for the Vermont-based documentary production company Barking Spider Productions and of the documentary film An Island Kingdom
• Anne Beatty, president of the Isles of Shoals Historical and Research Association and featured scholar in the documentary
