I vividly remember this excellent documentary about the gorgeous freshwater springs of Florida. The program was very well done, and featured Bill Kurtis scuba diving in the complex network of underwater caves (definitely not for the claustrophobic!). The photography was outstanding, as it highlights the unearthly beauty of the springs, which the late Florida author/environmental activist Marjorie Stoneman Douglas aptly described as resembling "bowls of liquid light."
Florida native Kurtis' passion for the springs and concern for their survival is evident throughout. The pristine water quality of the springs is threatened by agricultural run-off and the relentless encroachment of development. This program is highly recommended, if you can find it!
