People of the Marshes is the story of a family boldly making their dreams come true. They left the noise of the big city to live in harmony with nature in the heart of the Biebrza Marshes. This is the story of a father who tries to nurture a love of nature in his daughter. This is also the story of people who decided to fight for what they love most — wildlife. A fight which apparently seems to be lost from the very beginning. For can anyone restrain the "growth" of civilisation? Is there any chance for a little grey bird to tip the scales when its life clashes with human convenience?
