Guardians of our Troubled Waters DVD or Stream it NOW
GUARDIANS OF OUR TROUBLED WATERS reveals the close connections man has had with its rivers for thousands of years, the destruction that resulted during the industrial era and the heroes, yesterday and today, who rose to challenge the damage that was caused.

The Spirits Still Move Them DVD
The DVD of our new, highly acclaimed documentary film. Truth is stranger (and more interesting) than fiction. Mountaineers were masters of making something out of nothing, whether it be crops from bare soil or liquor from corn and fruit. These are the fascinating, funny and heart-rendering stories of the moonshiners who evaded the law (sometimes) and found creative ways to survive, put food on the table, and produce a product that we still enjoy today.
Please Note: If you will be in the Hendersonville area, a limited number of DVDs are available for sale at the Henderson County Genealogical Society at 400 Main Street, Hendersonville, NC 28792
