This short film was shot over two trips to a small island off the South East coast of the Island of Bali in Indonesia. A captive breeding program is currently under way by a local NGO, The Friends of the National Parks Foundation, to try and save the remaining wild population of the critically endangered and endemic Bali Starling. This film takes a look at that program and discovers first hand some the obstacles facing the remaining wild birds.
A story of hope this film reflects the dedication of a small team of local islanders working hard to save an emblem species of the region, one who's incredible song has been absent for so long from the local forests and villages of the islands.
A dedicated cameraman, a passionate executive producer, a talented vocal artist and world class musician combine to take you on a voyage of discovery to witness seldom seen aspects of a bird species precariously perched on the razors edge of existence, the Bali Starlings, back from the brink.
