So, 'Lighthouses of the Apostle Islands' is this neat little documentary from 1990 that dives deep into the lives of the lighthouse keepers across six of the Apostle Islands. The pacing is quite methodical, letting you absorb the rich history without rushing through it. The film really captures the atmosphere of these remote locations, with shots of rugged coastlines and those iconic lighthouses standing tall against the elements. While the director's name is a mystery, the storytelling feels personal, almost like a conversation with an old mariner sharing tales of the sea. It also dives into the practical challenges these keepers faced, which adds a nice layer to the whole experience. Definitely stands out in the doc genre for its focus on human stories amidst nature's beauty.
