The Exumas are a string of small islands in the Bahamas. This documentary explores the geography of the islands and provides a window into their natural features through the eyes and thoughts of a young woman who lives there. Underwater and time-lapse imagery are used to show a side of the Exumas that few people, even those lucky enough to have visited, have ever seen.
