"Maybe the most beautifully realized documentary in recent memory." - Los Angeles Times
"All That Breathes", directed by Shaunak Sen, follows two brothers who run a bird hospital dedicated to rescuing injured black kites, a staple in the skies of New Delhi, India.
In one of the world’s most populated cities, where cows, rats, monkeys, frogs, and hogs jostle cheek-by-jowl with people, the “Kite Brothers” care for thousands of these mesmerizing creatures that drop daily from New Delhi’s smog-choked skies.
As environmental toxicity and civil unrest escalate, the relationship between this family and the neglected kites forms a poetic chronicle of the city’s collapsing ecology and deepening social fault lines.
We are happy to note that the ByTowne Cinema will be donating 5% of ticket proceeds from the film to the Ottawa Valley Wild Bird Care Centre.
