This week Tayla is joined by Evan Villari, maker of the documentary “Blood & Watershed” about the creation of the Scituate Reservoir. They talk about what Evan learned about water access making the film and his personal connections to the story. They also discuss curating library collections, a local author, and Martin Scorsese. During The Last Chapter they discuss: What is the worst best book you’ve ever read?
