About the Film

Built over 200 years ago in a small Wampanoag community at the tip of an island off the East Coast, the Gay Head Lighthouse is one of America’s most famous beacons. From whaling days to electrification, KEEPERS OF THE LIGHT tells the story of evolving technology, heroism and shipwrecks, and the people who are called upon in each generation to keep the light, woven with the story of the recent race against time to save the historic lighthouse from falling over the edge of the rapidly eroding cliffs.

Broadcast nationwide on PBS through American Public Television, Keepers of the Light brings together themes of coastal resilience, Indigenous history, and community action.
