The film follows a California brown pelican as it faces survival challenges from its capture on the Golden Gate Bridge to its refuge at the wildlife rehabilitation facility. It gives viewers a glimpse of its nesting grounds and Pacific migration.
It is directed by Judy Irving, who is known for “The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill.”
“Like The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill," Irving’s study of brown pelicans is affectionate, at times humorous, and reveals a sense of wonder and awe at the birds’ simple beauty,” said Carolyn Jones of the San Francisco Chronicle.
The G-rated film is presented in English and runs for about 79 minutes.
