Environmental Film Festival: JOURNEY OF THE WHOOPING CRANE - N.A. - (Washington, DC)

D.C. Premiere At 5 feet tall, and with a wingspan of over 7 feet, the whooping crane has the distinction of being North America's tallest bird and, sadly, also 1 of its rarest. Habitat loss caused by European settlers reduced the population to just fifteen birds by the 1940s. Since then, in an intense effort to protect and restore the species, a broad coalition of NGOs, private interests, and government agencies has worked collectively and tirelessly to nurture the remaining wild flock to its current population of about 8 hundred. Directed by Rhett Turner & Greg Pope (United States, 2018, 50 minimum.) Post-screening discussion will follow
