WATCHING PEOPLE WATCHING BIRDS

In the organizer's words:

They wait for a song, hope for a discovery through the lens of their binoculars. People who have lost their hearts to birds are patient and cautious. One of the most prominent members of this community is Jonathan Franzen. It is a love for a world that is increasingly threatened with disappearance. A movie about silent activism. Y.F.
