Lost Souls:

Lighthouses & Shipwrecks  (94:00)

The feature length film shot in Indiana and on Lakes Huron, Michigan and Superior springs from college students that set out on an adventure to discover what happened to Zelda who disappeared ten years ago.  Zelda was the daughter of a lighthouse keeper who lost his life in a perilous storm attempting to rescue shipwrecked sailors.  The intrigue is heightened in the search for missing treasure with the daunting presence of Great Lakes pirates.  Based on true tales of courage, the motion picture highlights many  lighthouses, ships and shipwrecks including the Arthur M. Anderson, the sister ship of the Edmund Fitzgerald that sank seven miles ahead of the Anderson in 1975 on Lake Superior, Whitefish Bay, MI.
