Wild Hope: Building for Birds
Dir. Samuel LeGrys (US)

Millions of birds pass through our yards during their bi-annual migrations, but they face an invisible killer along the way: glass windows. In the US alone, an estimated one billion birds die each year when they collide with windows. Today, two organizations are helping pave the way to a bird-friendly future.


The Rewilders
Dir. Marlene Rodgers (Canada)
Sponsored by the UM Wildlife Biology Dept

Fierce and passionate individuals are taking audacious measures to save a planet in crisis. The Rewilders is a visually spectacular short documentary that follows pioneering conservationists on three continents, working to rewild iconic species like jaguar, elephant, bison, and salmon. The impact of their efforts is galvanizing a global movement, one species and one landscape at a time.
