More Info

This program features interviews with Charleston filmmakers Farrah Hoffmire and Mitchell Davis and two recent films that showcase adventurous projects that work with kids in South Carolina and Costa Rica. Web of Water Project (WOW) is an interactive documentary, bringing an exploration of South Carolina rivers into classrooms. By teaching and explaining how these waterways affect the students in their own lives they gain a better knowledge and understanding of science and history. On the kayak expedition, led by Ian Sanchez, educator, naturalist, and executive director of Lowcountry Environmental Education Programs (LEEP) we travel the great Saluda River watershed from its source in the mountains of South Carolina to the mouth of Charleston Harbor.

Footprints Journal: Finding Pura Vida is a short film that follows surfers who pooled their resources and started a one day surf clinic for a group of orphaned children from San Jose, Costa Rica. Seven years later, volunteer and professional surfers now travel annually from around the United States and Costa Rica for the one day event called the Pura Vida No Pro.

WofW was such a wonderful way for kids to learn about their environment - the hands-on and participation made it special. Many who saw it did not realise the water connection from Upstate to the coast! So, not only kids, it opened adults eyes as well.

Web of Water is a great example of caring people coming together to enrich the lives of children and open their minds to important and timely information that they can use to explore their own worlds. Ian Sanches and his team are a perfect fit for Southern Lens. I hope there are more projects ahead.

Web of Water was terrific piece on Southern Lens! Has inspired me to visit many of the places myself. Wonderful to see young kids involved in learning about their environment and state.

It is my wish to watch this documentary and perhaps share it with people here in Orange County. \There is a Back Bay here are this community is very passionate about protecting the waters from developers. Is there any chance of seeing it on line about it debuts on TV?

Enjoyed working on the Web of Water project. It was a 3 year endeavor. Farrah and Mitchel really came through as well as several others who helped to make it happen!
