Wilkinson Public Library and Mountainfilm present ONE BIG HOME at the library. The documentary addresses issues of growth and gentrification on Martha’s Vinyard, a tiny island off the coast of Massachusetts where presidents and celebrities vacation.

Twelve years in the making, One Big Home follows a carpenter’s journey to understand the trend toward the giant homes that he feels are threatening to destroy the island’s unique character. That carpenter is also the filmmaker, Thomas Bena. Feeling complicit in wrecking the place he called home, he took off his tool belt and picked up a camera. In the process of filmmaking, he bumps up against angry homeowners and builders who look the other way, as well as attempts to pass a new bylaw to limit house size.
