"Florida Crackers: The Cattlemen and Cowboys of Florida" Has Just Been Released on DVD. This is a Groundbreaking Independent Movie, Documenting the Florida Cracker Cattle Culture.

DAVIE, Fla., May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- "Florida Crackers:  The Cattlemen and Cowboys of Florida", produced by the Self Discovery Production Team, is an  87 minute high quality documentary and the only feature-length movie about the Florida Cracker Cattle Culture produced by a man raised in the culture, who grew up as a working cowboy on a ranch near Fort Pierce, Florida.

Filmed in high definition format, this movie portrays this formerly unrecognized aspect of the beautiful state's heritage - the real-life cattlemen and cowboys who are still working the land to this day.

Florida Crackers tells the story of this state's little-known cattle culture, which dates back to 1521, when Spanish explorer Ponce de Leon landed in Florida and introduced the first cattle and horses to North America, thus setting the stage for the first American cowboys and cattle industry to be born.

Florida Crackers was filmed on some of the biggest and oldest ranches in Florida. One, the Adams Ranch of Fort Pierce, famous for creating the Braford cattle breed, received the 1999 Ranch of the Century award from the National Cattleman's Beef Association.

Working with a small film crew and with minimal impact, with the Crackers telling their own story unscripted and in their own words, this movie creates an intimate style of documentary filming that is going to impact the film industry for years to come.

Filmed on several working ranches in Florida's pristine cattle country, and including some of Florida's best Cattlemen, Cowboys and Cowgirls, this one-of-a-kind film provides an exclusive inside view into the Florida Crackers lifestyle while also showcasing Florida's unique natural environment and wildlife.

A few of the prominent figures featured in the movie are: Mr. Bud Adams, the Carlton Family, "Alligator" Ron Bergeron, Ms. Iris Wall, Mr. Pete Clemons and former State Agriculture Commissioner, Charles Bronson.

For the first time ever, there are more people living in cities than in the country, and this movie has an important message that many people around the World are waiting to hear, about the core values of the Cracker Culture, who are true stewards of not just the land, but of a way of life, where integrity, courage, honesty and respect are normal.
