River of Grass

Sasha Wortzel / 2025 / 83 min. / USA

River of Grass is an ode to the Florida Everglades, past and present, told through the prescient writings of Marjory Stoneman Douglas and those who call the region home. After a hurricane, Douglas appears in a dream, guiding filmmaker Sasha Wortzel into a layered exploration of the Everglades as ecosystem, history, and site of resistance amid climate collapse through encounters with Indigenous educators, activists, and multigenerational residents.
