Calling Miami Home
Some long time Miami residents reflect on the impact of uncontrolled development in South Florida. Not only can the natural environment be ruined, but continual redevelopment prevents the permanence necessary to cultivate a sense of place. Those interviewed are: Al Rantel, Art Simon, Marjorie Stoneman Douglas, Sgt. Lee Haddon, Beth Dunlop, and Arva Moore Parks.
