Back in September, I blogged about the Big Cypress Swamp documentary by Elam Stoltzfus (read that post here) which was airing on Florida Public Broadcast Television. Since I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't have a television set, I didn't catch the show. Elam was kind enough to send me a DVD of the documentary so that I wouldn't feel so left out. Thanks, Elam!

The film transports you into Big Cypress with stunning visuals and conversations from some of the individuals who worked tirelessly to save the swamp from development. Elam Stoltzfus precisely captures the incredible beauty and importance of Big Cypress, right down to the smallest detail. It's a true work of art, and will leave you with a better understanding of our connection to the natural world and how important it is that we preserve places like this for future generations. I give the film two thumbs up!

If you didn't catch the documentary on PBS, I believe you can pick up at http://bigcypressswamp.org, and here is a 7-minute teaser of the video on YouTube to show you what the documentary is all about. Enjoy!
