North Carolina law has prohibited hardened structures on its beaches and inlets for more than two decades. A handful of private beachfront homeowners are attempting to undo the ban that has set a national example and protected these public beaches.
This documentary in The Beaches of The World series was made possible thanks to the generous contribution of Glenna Patton.
