In 1976, William W. Warner wrote the Pulitzer-winning book Beautiful Swimmers. It tells the story of the Atlantic blue crab and the watermen of the Chesapeake Bay who depend on them. Forty years later, writer Tom Horton returned to the people and places featured in that book. Join us to watch the documentary of the changes that occurred for the crabs, people, and waters of the Bay from 1976 to 2016 and hear where they stand in 2024.
