All That Breathes (2022)
Nominated for the Oscar for Best Documentary Feature, All That Breathes follows two Muslim brothers who devote their lives to protecting the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to the ecosystem of New Delhi, which has been falling from the sky at alarming rates. Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest, the “kite brothers” spend day and night caring for the birds in their makeshift basement hospital.
An award-winner at Cannes, Cinema Eye, Jackson Wild, Sundance, and The International Documentary Association Awards, All That Breathes has a 99% critics rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with The Los Angeles Times hailing it as “extraordinary… maybe the most beautifully realized documentary in recent memory.”
As NPR says, “In an age when we’re constantly reminded of all that’s bad, All That Breathes celebrates good things it’s easy to forget: the wonder of life, the virtues of compassion and the human capacity to make the world better.”
