"The Weight of a Feather” explores the triumphs and challenges of wildlife rehabilitation, the history of conservation, and the deep significance of feathers to Native American cultural identity. This story is told through the lens of Liberty Wildlife, a wildlife rehabilitation, education, and conservation center in the desert Southwest that benefits animals and people. Filmed on location in Arizona, this documentary features stunning photography of urban wildlife, including osprey, owls, and bald eagles. Their presence in our lives sparks our humanity and reminds us of the connection between people, nature, and cultures. Directed by Kristin Atwell Ford & Bill Davis
