Wave - Swept
Directed by Rob Apse
A companion film to The Last Lightkeepers, Wave-Swept highlights Maine’s preservationists and residents sounding the alarm on climate change, as well as the lighthouses and landmarks on the front lines of rising tides.
This documentary could not be made without the efforts of Maine residents capturing the storms as they unfolded and the immediate aftermath.
Storm video and imagery: Bob Trapani, Jr., Diane Heath, Shelley Gallagher, John Thibodeau and Dominic Trapani.
