Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest, the ‘kite brothers’ spend day and night caring for the creatures in their makeshift avian basement hospital. Director Shaunak Sen (Cities of Sleep) explores the connection between the kites and the brothers who help them return to the skies, offering a mesmerizing chronicle of inter-species coexistence.
As legions of birds fall from New Delhi’s darkening skies, and the city smolders with social unrest, two brothers race to save a casualty of the turbulent times: the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to their city's ecosystem.
What the World is Saying About #AllThatBreathes
Wildlife Rescue
The Wildlife Rescue was formed in 2010 to provide quality health care, often on an emergency basis, to native wildlife. Located in Delhi, the NGO was founded by brothers Nadeem Shehzad and Muhammad Saud.
On average, about 2,500 sick, injured and orphaned birds are treated and cared for annually. The center is run by staff trained in emergency aid, with specialized avian veterinary care. The hospital treats a wide variety of injuries and illnesses that include broken bones, infections, diseases and malnutrition. It also cares for babies and juveniles that have been left orphaned. For whatever reason a bird is brought into the hospital, the aim of the center is to rehabilitate that bird back into the wild.
Wildlife Rescue has cared for more than 20,000 birds and animals since 2010. They have remained a safe abode for birds of prey in Delhi and its neighboring areas and is one of the largest rescue facilities for raptors in the world.
