National Parks of the First Coast and the Golden Isles (2009)
WJCT’s National Parks of the First Coast and the Golden Isles builds upon a basic thesis of Ken Burns’ The National Parks: America’s Best Idea by portraying the National Parks of northeast Florida and southeast Georgia as the prototype of how our National Parks helped shape our communities and continue to define and bring the communities together.
The documentary demonstrates how the six parks of this region work together in many ways to not only shape the landscape and community of northeast Florida and southeast Georgia, but also help to serve a large underserved audience. Featured in the program: the struggle and meanings of freedom at Kingsley Plantation; the battles over territory and nation-state at Castillo de San Marcos, Fort Matanzas, Cumberland Island and Fort Frederica; the desire for religious freedom in a new land at Fort Caroline. This WJCT production was produced and directed by Stephen Jones, narrated by Karen Feagins and executive produced by John Osif.
The St. Augustine Lighthouse (2009)

This majestic tower is not only a symbolic representation of the rich and unique history of St. Augustine, it serves as a guiding light for the people of the community.
