Film Night: Apalachicola River

This film will take you on a journey through Florida’s largest river: from its origin in Georgia, through the haunting Dead Lakes, and into the Gulf of Mexico. In this hour-long documentary, you’ll meet historical figures who once lived in the area, oystermen who still work in the bay, beekeepers who make tupelo honey on its banks, and artists working to preserve its wild beauty. Filmmaker Elam Stoltzfus, musician Sammy Tedder and screenwriter Jane Atkins all call this area home, and provide an insider’s perspective of this American treasure.

The Big Bend Sierra Club is sponsoring the showing.
