A free screening of the 2020 film The Long Coast, and discussion with film Director Ian Cheney. Register at dmc.umaine.edu

A documentary film, The Long Coast is a series of lyrical portraits that illuminates the stories of Maine residents whose lives and livelihoods are inextricably connected to the ocean.
