Description:
With her Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill, filmmaker Judy Irving captured the inner lives of San Fran’s psittacine citizens. Now she’s turned her camera on pelicans with her new documentary Pelican Dreams. Irving presents the journey of Gigi, an injured pelican rescued on the Golden Gate Bridge, and in the process weaves a stirring conservation portrait of one of America’s oddest and most beloved birds.
Ms. Irving explains: “Because pelicans have an ancient magic about them, and because their near-extinction and recovery parallel our human relationship to the environment, I’ve been wanting to make a film about them for years, but I needed a good story!”
