Eternal Life: Preserving the Memory of Beechville is a reflective look at how one African Nova-Scotian community is coping with urban sprawl encroaching on its borders. Following the war of 1812, a group of freed slaves settled in Beechville, Nova Scotia as refugees escaping the United States. Almost two centuries later, as urbanization threatens many of Canada's rural communities, Beechville itself is being swallowed up. At the core of the community, stands the Beechville United Baptist Church. Established in 1844, the Church is the final relic giving testimony to the area's history.
