Save America's Amazon

I'm an environmental journalist, filmmaker and author. I make documentaries and find cool stuff. Most of my work is focused on America's Amazon, the nation's most biodiverse river system, located in Alabama. I wrote the book, Saving America's Amazon and its accompanying documentary about the system and the threats it faces.  In 2018, I found the wreck of the Clotilda, the last ship to bring enslaved Africans to America, and wrote The Last Slave Ship about the people who arrived in its hold and the story of my discovery. I brought the Underwater Forest, an ancient cypress forest we found on the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, to the world in my film, The Underwater Forest. This channel hosts my documentaries, and my new show, Save America's Amazon. The show will feature episodes on natural wonders, carnivorous plants, fascinating people, and animals. I shoot with a Canon cinema camera, and endeavor to make people care about the natural world by revealing it in all its splendor.
