The critically acclaimed documentary, “Sanibel,” is now available for audiences to watch on demand via Apple TV and Amazon Prime Video.
Directed by Herbert James Winterstern, the film initially set out to explore the cherished world of seashell collecting and the unique shelling culture of the island community. However, its narrative profoundly changed when Hurricane Ian struck during filming in 2022. The project quickly transformed into a compelling story of survival, grief, resilience, and the unwavering spirit of a community devastated by one of Florida’s largest storms.
The documentary has already earned significant recognition, including the Best Florida Film Award at the Naples International Film Festival and a screening at the 15th annual Fort Myers Film Festival.
