River of Grass

Wortzel’s film is a clarion call to protect Florida’s greatest resource.

"River of Grass" interweaves Marjory Stoneman Douglas’ poetic writings and her lifetime devotion to the Florida Everglades with a marvelous homage to the current environment in a beautifully descriptive work with historical context.

...it has something of a timeless (or, more accurately, out-of-time) poetic visual quality that I find exciting to watch—although, admittedly, might be too dry for some.

Rivers of Grass is beguiling in its natural beauty and heavy on the soul when it addresses what humans have done to our planet. It’s a plea for conservation, one that existed long before Worztel’s camera started filming.
