SYNOPSIS

Swamp Cabbage: A Wild & Sweaty Documentary is filmmaker Julie Kahn’s decade-long reckoning with Florida “Crackers,” a near-secret community intimately connected with the disappearing Florida wilderness. Filled with dark humor, tension, and unexpected truths from an under-explored and often-stereotyped region, what starts as a documentary about a quirky community event becomes a tragicomic quest not only to make sense of her home state of Florida, but also to reconnect with wildness, community and food chain.
