The Beacon Film Society presents RIVER OF GRASS, a present-day reimagining of environmentalist Marjory Stoneman Douglas’s celebrated book, "The Everglades: River of Grass" (1947), which forever changed the public’s understanding of the area from worthless swamps to an essential source of freshwater, enabling the ecosystem to endure, just barely, today.
Q&A following the screening features the film’s director, producer, and editor Sasha Wortzel.
