>>> Join WSRE to receive a DVD copy of Gulf Islands National Seashore <<<

WSRE’s production is narrated by none other than the famous documentarian himself — Ken Burns. The local documentary explores a national treasure found right in our own back yard — The Gulf Islands National Seashore.

Located in Florida and Mississippi, Gulf Islands National Seashore consists of 12 units and is the largest national park unit in the United States containing a seashore. Sparkling emerald waters; snow-white crystalline sand; barrier islands; salt marshes; forests of Live Oaks, pines and magnolias; historic structures; archeological sites; and a diverse array of wildlife — all of this can be found at the Gulf Islands National Seashore.

The documentary, filmed in high definition, features breathtaking, visually stunning footage that beckons you to experience these vivid landscapes with your own eyes. The program showcases the beauty and the history of the region, truly the treasure of the Gulf Coast. The program will be broadcast on other PBS stations in the coming months for viewers all over the southeast.
