This film is a love letter to the world of birds, and a rallying cry for people to protect it.

For A Day Like Today
On the eve of her 70th birthday, Canadian writer Margaret Atwood set out on an international tour criss-crossing the British Isles and North America to celebrate the publication of her new dystopian novel, The Year of the Flood. Rather than mount a traditional tour to promote a book's publication, Atwood conceived and executed something far more ambitious and revelatory--a theatrical version of her novel. Along the way she reinvented what a book tour could (and maybe should) be. But Atwood wasn't selling books as much as advocating an idea: how humanity must respond to the consequences of an environmentally compromised planet before her work of speculative fiction transforms into prophesy.
In the Wake of the Flood
Spoonie, the spoon-billed sandpiper, would have long since gone extinct without Dr. Christoph Zöckler and a tight-knit group of international ornithologists. As if that werenât bad enough, the migration route of this sparrow-sized wading birdâwith its peculiar spoon-shaped billâruns from Russia through North Korea and China all the way to Myanmar, passing through several of the worldâs crisis regions of the past decade. The work of the task force is therefore also a political challenge. It requires diplomatic sensitivity in coordinating with the countries along the flyway. In the tragicomic story of Spoonieâs fate, the struggle for threatened biodiversity in an increasingly fragile world is reflected.
