A project about Florida's endangered Gentle Giants and the current threats they face.

Before It's Too Late: Manatee Documentary is a film about the endangered Florida Manatee. The film explains what a manatee is and the threats it faces today. The documentary follows rescue, rehabilitation and release programs around the state of Florida, showcases research at Blue Spring State Park and visits various manatee education centers around the state. In addition, the documentary also touches on the special situation in Crystal River, where people are allowed to swim with manatees. The goal of the documentary is education and awareness and a better understanding of this unique marine mammal.—Cora Berchem
