Gladesmen: The Last of the Sawgrass Cowboys

Over the decades it may have seemed that successive American governments literally treat the Bible verses about subduing the Earth, as they consequently allow for devastation of the natural environment on a large scale. Some may say that the government officials have finally come to their senses, others - that they bowed to the ecological lobby of lefties by legislating a new law aiming at restoring the natural ecosystem of the Everglades National Park. The park rangers and environmental experts appreciate the ban on driving airboats, which pollute and destroy, on the wetlands. However, not everyone shares that attitude. Space-alike vehicles looking like taken from the set of Mad Max have become a part of local community life and created a subculture of "born in Florida" cowboys. In his film David Abel is giving the voice to simple people, who do not understand why the way they have been earning their livings is now prohibited due to some federal government decision or why their children will not be allowed to follow their parents and explore waters full of alligators.
