The Sarasota Experience | WEDU Documentaries

The story of #Sarasota, Florida, is the story of America, from its indigenous population to its time as a sleepy fishing village, to the transformative city it is today. The Sarasota Experience, a WEDU PBS and @triforcepictures3622 documentary, tells the region's celebrated and little-known stories. From the first Scottish settlers to the Civil Rights movement to the area's efforts to protect Florida's environment, this film traces the evolution of community and explores what the future might hold. #SRQ #Documentary
