Every three to five years the lost springs of the Ocklawaha River awaken during a months-long drawdown at George Kirkpatrick Dam. During the 2015-2016 drawdown, springs artist Margaret Tolbert and filmmaker Matt Keene traveled to the Ocklawaha to capture the magic of their rebirth, both on canvas and on film.

Experiencing a landscape scarred by government failure, an artist must come to grips with the impending loss of her subject matter: a collection of majestic freshwater springs exposed only for a short time before being smothered and forgotten beneath waters held back by an aging and purposeless dam.
