Ghost Bird is a unique documentary film that will not be released in theaters. The Ivory-billed woodpecker's controversial rediscovery has been well documented in numerous books and in media around the globe. This documentary steps out of the swamp and takes an even wider perspective on the bird’s rediscovery, fully exploring all of its political, cultural and economic dimensions. As a result, surprising insights are made and significant facts are uncovered, some having been previously censored. This documentary pursues the unsettling territory of human ambition and wishful thinking.
