A documentary worth watching, related to Skaneateles lake. The awards keep rolling in for “The Beauty and The Beast: A Tale of Two Lakes,” a 25-minute documentary produced by the students of Cayuga Community College. The environmental documentary tells the story of two Central New York lakes. In1885, Onondaga and Skaneateles lakes were both pristine bodies of water. A single political decision led to the demise of Onondaga Lake, but allowed Skaneateles Lake to remain unspoiled. Today, Onondaga Lake is a toxic waste site, while Skaneateles Lake provides some of the world’s purest, unfiltered drinking water. “A Tale of Two Lakes” reveals the hidden connection between the two lakes, the political decision that placed them on such divergent paths and explains how they became so drastically different over the course of 100 years. Watch the video online here.
