The Falconer
Documentary
Synopsis
This intimate portrait film follows master falconer Rodney Stotts on his mission to build a bird sanctuary and to provide access to nature for his stressed community. The Falconer weaves his present-day mission with the story of his past, both of which are deeply rooted in issues of social and environmental injustice. Stottsās worldview in a nutshell: nature heals. In a forgotten corner of our nationās capital, he takes the time to break through to those too often dismissed as āhard to reach.ā This is a story of second chances: for injured birds of prey, for an abandoned plot of land, for a group of teenagers who have dropped out of high school, and for the falconer himself.
