About the project

Common perceptions and media depictions of the swamp ecosystem usually portray a dark, dank place filled with monsters. It's described as a place of death. Our film acknowledges these negative impressions and aims to dispel them by showcasing some of the area’s stunning fauna and unique flora. The film presents factual details of species and habitat, and refutes several false myths, legends and rumors targeting specific species.
We highlight the following families/species in the film:
Herons;
Alligator;
Barred Owl;
Cypress;
Spanish Moss; and
Egrets.
The film features a “Threats to the Swamp” segment focused on pollution - both the large-scale industrial type and the simple, but just as dangerous, individual-level littering and carelessness.
Our film concludes with a message of hope, illustrated by lovely sunset scenes.
