51 Degrees South: Life On a Disputed Island in the South Atlantic - Vern Cummins & Jamie Gallant

All remote towns have their quirks and the Falkland Islands are no different. The islands, located in the South Atlantic Ocean, have just over 3,000 residents and, Vern Cummins and Jamie Gallant tell Boyd that the size of their community fosters types of collaboration that isn't found everywhere. The pilot flies pigs and reindeer to the veterinarian. A lighthouse operator who serves as a leader of military resistance. And the reindeer doubles as a sheep dog. And just like Lassie, it also saves lives. Vern and Jamie are documenting the islands and the people who live on them in their short documentary series 51° South.
