Creatures of the Lagoon

2011 FESTIVAL
51 min.
Filmmaker: Peter Schriemer.
Host Peter Schriemer leads young viewers on an exploration of Florida’s Indian River Lagoon, a richly diverse156-mile long inland waterway which serves as a nursery for many species of marine life. The film immerses viewers in the endangered world of the creatures at the bottom of the aquatic food chain. These small animals seek the sanctuary of the lagoon’s sea grass beds and mangrove forests to hide from voracious predators before heading back into the ocean to begin the cycle of life anew. After the film, Peter himself will be present to take the audience exploring on a backyard safari!
