Nestled in the southern foothills of the majestic Adirondack Mountains is the Great Sacandaga Lake, the largest man-made body of water in New York State. In the early 20th century, when the need for regulation of the upper Hudson River became obvious, the decision to build a reservoir in the Sacandaga Valley was an unpopular but necessary solution. This film tells the story of how the people of the valley had to sacrifice their homes, their farms and their livelihoods for the greater good. It is the story of heartbreak, rebirth and a remarkable engineering project in its own right. Jason Kemper (producer) and Lauren Roberts (writer, producer) will be here to discuss the documentary process and to answer questions after the film. This film and discussion is co-hosted by the Adirondack Mountain Club and the Folklife Center at Crandall Public Library.
