River of Grass

A lone airboat captain navigates the vast, sawgrass-choked waters of the Everglades, his weathered hands guiding tourists through a landscape both beautiful and perilous. As he recounts tales of panthers, alligators, and lost explorers, the film weaves together stunning aerial shots and intimate interviews with scientists and indigenous communities. This documentary reveals the fragile ecosystem's history, from ancient formation to modern conservation battles, capturing the quiet drama of a river of grass fighting for survival against encroaching development and climate change.
