Meadowlands is a new independent documentary currently in production about an area of New Jersey with a history of severe environmental issues. Filmmaker Scott Morris began shooting and editing scenes of the area's crazy mix of industry and natural beauty, and interviews with several passionate advocates who have been working to restore it. The project will be in production until late 2011. The following clips offer a look at Morris' work-in-progress.
