Amur Falcons, the longest traveling raptors in the world, fly from Siberia every fall to roost in Pangti, a small village in Nagaland, India and then fly on to Kenya. In 2012, Nagaland made global news when thousands of these raptors were mercilessly hunted. Following this revelation, a massive campaign to save these birds began in a span of two years, Pangti managed to create a safe haven for the birds by achieving a zero mortality rate. The film explores the transition of the entire village from one that slaughtered hundreds and thousands of the wing visitors to their most fervent preservationists. A touching discourse with a focus on conservation in a stunningly beautiful jungle landscape near India’s border with Myanmar.
