Twilight Talks: Wreckage, Resilience & Recovery: THE HISTORY OF HURRICANES ON SANIBEL (BIG ARTS)

The Sanibel Historical Museum & Village announces a collaborative showing of its documentary Wreckage, Resilience & Recovery: THE HISTORY OF HURRICANES ON SANIBEL on Saturday, November 8, 2025, 7:00 p.m., at BIG ARTS. 

In the century before destructive Hurricane Ian battered Sanibel in September of 2022, the Island was hit at least six times by monster hurricanes: 1910, 1921, 1926, 1944, 1960, and 2004.  Some of these brought deadly storm surges.  Imagine a time without warning systems and no Causeway for escape. Taken from historic transcripts, hear the actual words of early settlers brought to life by voice actors. After the screening, join filmmaker Ken Sneeden for a discussion of the documentary film as an art form. 

Cash bar opens at 6:00pm. Grab a drink and some popcorn before the film—stay afterward for a discussion with the filmmaker on “the documentary as art form.”
