Twenty years ago, Duck, North Carolina, was pretty much the way it was a century ago -- a remote fishing and hunting village named for the migratory waterfowl that clouded its skies annually. Duck: An Outer Banks Village attempts to reclaim part of that place and to preserve what presumably will be forgotten once the few remaining old-timers are no longer around to tell the village's stories. The story of Duck illustrates how the momentum of development can irrevocably alter a community's autonomy, anonymity, and sense of privacy.
