Introduction
The City of Port St. Lucie, with its incredibly diverse population, is truly
a city for all ages and for all people. One of its treasures, the beautiful,
almost pristine St. Lucie River beckons you back to yesteryears, where
times were simple and people's lives less complicated. To celebrate our
city's first 50 years in a unique way, we have produced a full-length
docudrama movie detailing the city's history and highlighting the
challenges and triumphs of our forefathers. Our goal was to honor the
people who have made our city their home. We did so by rallying local
businesses and talent, like our production company, Treasure Coast
Films, Inc., and a host of wonderful residents who volunteered their
time and talent to help deliver this message. Over ninety percent of the
people involved and the money spent on this project were kept within
our community. While we couldn't possibly capture every resident on
film, we have captured a representative cross-section of our people
from every walk of life within the community. You may recognize family,
neighbors or friends as you sit back, relax, and enjoy viewing this movie
about our "City of Dreams" that we call home.
