481- The Erie Canal & Virgin Mary- Part 4

This is a 4 part special presentation.

This mini-series celebrates the 200th year of the Erie Canal and how my creation of a documentary “The Origins of the Erie Canal” about the canal brought me closer to the Virgin Mary.

Title slide for the documentary that says The Erie Canal. 1825 to 2025 The letters are white and the background is an colorful illustration of a weight lock building from the eighteen hundreds.

Part 4 is the conclusion to the series. It was shot last spring and brings to light what has happened across the Erie Canal since that documentary I produced 25 years ago. 

During my movie shoots for over 25 years I continue to discover as I traveled to parts of New York State unknown to me, that I’ve found the Virgin Mary is always here.

I call this part “From Forgotten Wonder to Destination Wonder” because it reveals where two and a half decades now finds us.

Today, this is the story of positive growth. Of volunteers within their local communities bringing an understanding of canal history and canal usage for our times while growing opportunities for people to enjoy the Erie Canal today and in the future. 

And now a day this is beginning to include what we have learned about the past that’s not so great.

Not in an effort to rewrite history, but rather to address what has been overlooked in order to heal wounds and take account for those mistakes in order to learn from them and not repeat them as humanity grows into the future.

Here is the beginning of the story:

“A big part of America’s history almost never got built. Its builders ignored presidential advice, risked millions of dollars, and changed the course of America’s society by building a ditch.”
