But, as the title of the film sets forth, the sacred waters of the Okefenokee are in peril. The threat of a proposed mineral mine near the edge of the Okefenokee looms large, putting the natural integrity of the Swamp at risk. As the award-winning Sacred Waters brings us deeper into the Okefenokee, we understand how great this threat truly is. Sacred Waters is produced by Scrapbook Film Productions.
