Snowbirds is a social documentary study of Breezy Hill RV trailer park, a tightly knit community of French Qubcois retirees living in the heart of Pompano Beach, Florida. The residents are the last of their kind to migrate en masse to Florida during the winter months, living out their version of paradise and the American Dream within the white picket fences of Breezy Hill.
