Outlaws of the Everglades

Not Your Typical Smuggling Story

Outlaws of the Everglades film's hero scene featuring fishermen loading bails of illicit cargo into their boats under the cover of night.

When federal fishing restrictions hit the Everglades in the 1970s, some fishermen turned to pot smuggling to survive. For the first time, the Daniels family, Floridians since before the Civil War, break their silence. A story of grit, loyalty, and survival, revealing secrets never told… until now.
