LTV Studios and Playwrights’ Theatre of East Hampton hosted a screening of The Bonackers, a documentary created by award-winning producer and director Joanne Friedland Roberts.

The film delved into the lives of the men and women who have fished and farmed the East End of Long Island for nearly 400 years.

The screening included historic footage from LTV’s hidden archives. Following the screening, attendees joined the “Celebrating Bonac” gathering where they enjoyed a live performance of Dan Koontz’s original song, ‘Fireplace Road’.
