A Home for Us All
About this original series
The dream of home ownership is becoming very foggy for year-round residents of Martha's Vineyard. Skyrocketing real estate values and the cost of living have now made home ownership out of reach for most islanders. These economic pressures are slowly forcing the exodus of a generation, tearing at the fabric that makes Martha's Vineyard's culture and community so unique. In this documentary series, islanders open their doors and share their thoughts and aspirations for the place they call home.
