Overview

Sundance-and-Emmy-Award-winning filmmaker Judy Irving (with her first film since the widely acclaimed and loved โ€œThe Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hillโ€) follows a wayward California brown pelican from her โ€œarrestโ€ on the Golden Gate Bridge into care at a wildlife rehabilitation facility, and from there explores pelicansโ€™ nesting grounds, Pacific coast migration, and survival challenges of these ancient birds, sometimes referred to as the flying dinosaurs. The film is about wildness, and asks the following questions: how close can we get to a wild animal without taming or harming it? Why do we need wildness in our lives, and how can we protect it? PELICAN DREAMS, stars โ€œGigiโ€ (for Golden Gate) and Morro (a backyard pelican with an injured wing).
