GEOGRAPHIES OF SOLITUDE by Jacquelyn Mills. 2022. 103 min.
Scintillating with quiet and precious life, Geographies of Solitude is a portrait of Sable Island—a remote sandbar off the coast of Nova Scotia—and its caretaker of more than 40 years, Zoe Lucas. A field guide of nature’s windswept treasures and a woman’s lifelong dedication to protecting them.
