Review of All That Breathes (2022) by Bertobellamy — 08 Mar 2023
It's amazing yet sad how natural selection has allowed wildlife to survive among our filth. 'All that Breathes' is an essential documentary that introduces the noble labor of two Indian brothers and a friend rescuing black kites from New Dehli's heavily polluted environment.
Director Shaunak Sen explores the fragility of a now twisted ecosystem and the complicated relationship between the brothers, who face low resources and great frustration while doing their work. And that's not it because the plot develops during violent religious riots; the framing establishes predatory practices between the birds they're trying to save and their hate-fueled neighbors.
It's a long shot, but I hope this wins Best Documentary a the Oscars.
