Ossabaw Island - In the Beginning - Reflections on Year One of the Genesis Project

Ossabaw Island, Georgia's first Heritage Preserve, is found on the Georgia coast...26,000 acres of maritime forest, tidal wetlands, wide beaches on the Atlantic Ocean. The Genesis Project—a cooperative, semi-sustainable community organized by Eleanor "Sandy" and Clifford West—operated at Middle Place on Ossabaw Island in Chatham County, Georgia from 1970 to 1983.

In October 2010, eight members of the 1970 Genesis group returned to Ossabaw and shared stories of that summer forty years ago.

This is the short documentary compiled from their memories.

Additional Info: Ossabaw Island is an unspoiled place set aside by the State of Georgia for natural, scientific, and cultural study, research, and education. For more information about the island, how to visit, or the Ossabaw Island Foundation, visit http://www.ossabawisland.org
