WHAT IS BURIED FLORIDA?

I'm Roz Stevens. I write Southern noir fiction
set in the same Florida this channel investigates.

Every episode of Buried Florida is paired with a free companion story —
fiction built from the same history, the same ground,
the same questions the documentary leaves open.

The record tells you what happened.
The fiction tells you what it felt like.

New episodes every Tuesday on YouTube.
