In an attempt to save the threatened ecosystem, the Florida government hosts an annual competition to remove invasive pythons from the Everglades. For ten grueling nights, python-mania overtakes the ‘glades as an eclectic group of amateur hunters contends with unforgiving terrain, aggressive nocturnal creatures, and their own desires and demons that push them into the swamp, searching for slithering glory.
“Suddenly the hunt takes on a strange extra meaning. It’s the sort of moment that would feel ham-fisted in a fiction film script, but in a nonfiction film, it’s gold. Sometimes, reality beats anything you could imagine.” – Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times
“Irresistible cocktail of vigilantism, competition and nature conservation.” – Moveable Fest
“A wild […] journey into the swamp of the American soul.” – The Hollywood Reporter
“‘The rare project that’s indescribable enough to break through a saturated niche and become the next ‘Tiger King’.” – IndieWire
