Dean Kim Tanzer served as a consultant for "Imagining a New Florida," a documentary produced by WPBT Miami with funding provided by the Florida Humanities Council. This one-hour program looks at how our car-dependent lifestyle amid sprawl development is causing social isolation, as well as taking a toll on the environment and the pocketbook. It explores how Floridians might chart a new path towards sustainable growth and a better quality of life.
Dean Tanzer is interviewed in the film about Gainesville's African-American community, the Fifth Avenue-Pleasant Street neighborhood and about Cedar Key, two old Florida communities. The film is scheduled to premier May 13 at 8pm on most Florida PBS stations.
