The plotline of "ornithologist fights poacher for the survival of plume birds" may not rustle your feathers, but this film is definitely worth viewing if you have any interest at all in what Florida looked like before it became a concrete jungle filled with sunburned retirees. The footage of the Everglades, the people and critters therein, and the efforts to conquer the Floridian wilderness are presented well, albeit in a somewhat clunky story. You could almost turn off the volume, fix a mojito, throw on some tunes and watch this as a vintage travelog, but you would miss out on some interesting characters.
