After the attacks of September 11th, thousands of commuters remained stranded near ground zero in Manhattan. With the bridges and tunnels closed, SeaStreak commuter ferry became a lifeline, taxi'ing evacuees across the river into Monmouth County, New Jersey. And while commuters rode the ferry back to Jersey to get away from the devastation, first responders from Monmouth County would take the ride back to ground zero to assist in recovery efforts. These are the stories of the New Jersey heroes of 9/11.

Monmouth County, 9/11, and Its Aftermath

What happens when typical suburban lawn is replaced with native plants? Life gets Wild in the Garden State! Sarah and her husband Dave move from an apartment in New York City to a house in New Jersey complete with a white picket fence and a 130-foot span of lawn. The city transplants both want a beautiful, eco-friendly garden, but have little gardening experience. Shot over ten years, WILD in the Garden State documents gardening mis-steps, lessons and experiences that go far beyond replacing a rectangle of lawn.

Wild in the Garden State

LOGLINE: The story of the defense of the New Jersey Pine Barrens against illegal off-road vehicles. In the vast Pinelands National Reserve of southern New Jersey, powerful vehicles trample protected sand dunes and drive circles through ancient ponds. Like in many wild places, “off-roading” has grown more popular here. Some of the off-roading activity is perfectly legal—provided it stays on established trails—but ignoring the rules is widespread. As a gritty local conservationist works to protect habitat for threatened species, tensions flare with off-roading enthusiasts who fear their access to the forest will be restricted. Filmmaker Jared Flesher's Pine Mud is the first feature documentary to explore the controversial and intensifying problem of off-road vehicle damage on public lands.
