Filmmakers Eric Bendick and Mac Stone spent four years following the rivers, swamps and springs of the Southeast for “American Amazon,” a documentary made for IMAX and giant screen theaters.
The film, narrated by Jon Batiste, opens to the public Saturday, Nov. 14, at Fernbank Museum of Natural History in Atlanta. Bendick and Stone told WABE why they want the South to celebrate the wild places in its own backyard.
