Description
Ghost Bird tells of the tireless search for the elusive Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Many obsessed and passionate bird watchers and researchers embarked on the odyssey to uncover the species' resurrected existence. Following hours, days and years of search for the extinct bird, the species is yet to be found. Diehards continue on the quests still today, convineced of the woodpecker's existence, and increasingly amazed at its ability to remain tantalizingly out of reach. New York Magazine describes the film as "spellbinding" and the New York Times as "a multilayered story that will fascinate practically everyone."
