Rita has developed a North Manitou Island video called "Hiking North Manitou Island - Sights, Sounds and History". Running time is 33 minutes. The following text appears on the back of the video case:

"Located in Lake Michigan, west of the Leelanau Peninsula, this fifteen thousand acre island is part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. Long a favorite destination of backpackers, North Manitou Island presents a challenging experience for both accomplished and novice hikers.

"This video takes you on a guided tour of the sights, sounds and history of the Island as filmed by Christine J. Osterman and narrated by John Pesano. Historical information, script and photos are provided by Rita Hadra Rusco, long time Island resident and friend to campers for many years. Rita is well known for her book, 'North Manitou Island - Between Sunrise and Sunset' which is now in its fifth printing.

"Join them on this magnificent tour of North Manitou Island and feel the 'Spirit of the Manitou' for yourself."
