Restoring America's Everglades is the biggest restoration project ever attempted by mankind. For decades, the sugar industry, aka "Big Sugar" has halted progress on restoring the Everglades. Why? Because they want every last drop of water going to their crops, rather than to equitably share the water so that we can heal the Everglades and surrounding estuaries. With all the money in the world, Sugar's influence has taken over American politics on both sides of the aisle, ensuring victory for themselves. This film captures a specific battle with the sugar industry. An extremely dangerous bill, Senate Bill 2508 was filed in February of 2022. The corrupted Florida Senate thought it would be business as usual, that was until the grassroots movement behind Captains For Clean Water got wind of the sneaky bill. I'll leave you with this quote by Margaret Mead: "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
