## About this film

Join filmmaker, ocean advocate, and Florida native Wilson McCourtney on a heartfelt mission to protect wildlife and honor the sacred waters of his homeland, in Fighting for Florida.

This eye-opening documentary captures the breathtaking underwater beauty of the Sunshine State while shedding light on urgent environmental issues such as shark conservation and nutrient pollution. Through stunning visuals of wetlands, reefs, and candid interviews, McCourtney reveals the stark contrast between Florida's allure and the environmental challenges it faces, including the devastating impact of toxic algae blooms fueled by herbicide spraying and Florida’s role in the heinous shark fin trade.
