The darkening backdrop of Delhi's apocalyptic air and escalating violence, two brothers devote their lives to protect one casualty of the turbulent times: the bird known as the Black Kite.
All That Breathes■
Synopsis
In the Indian megacity of Delhi, pigs, dogs and monkeys jostle cheek-by-jowl with people. Here, brothers Saud and Nadeem run a makeshift bird hospital in their tiny basement, devotedly caring for the birds of prey that drop daily from the smog-shrouded sky. But since the Indian government introduced a controversial law that discriminates against Muslims, trouble has been brewing among the people, too. Filmmaker Shaunak Sen portrays two extraordinary brothers in a city on the verge of collapse, and captures in imposing images all that still breathes there despite everything.
