This week on a special holiday edition of "The Florida Roundup," we spoke with directors of three film documentaries related to the Sunshine State.
Rick Goldsmith, director of “Stripped for Parts: American Journalism on the Brink," which examines the trend of hedge funds buying newspapers, including two in Florida, over the past two decades and the broken business of local journalism.
The documentary “River of Grass,” co-produceed by Ali Codina and directed Sasha Wortzel, is an Everglades documentary with archival footage and sound from Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, who spent her life in service to Florida's unique wetland ecosystem.
Jamie Winterstern was the director of “Sanibel,” a documentary that explores seashelling around the island before and after Hurricane Ian. The documentary features people who hunt and collect shells as a pastime and as a livelihood around Sanibel Island.
