Watch now: Worlds Collide selected for British Documentary Festival
A short film directed by Nicholas Rodd about migration through the Georgian bottleneck has been selected by the British Documentary Festival — and is now free to watch until May 14th.
Worlds Collide, a documentary directed by Nicholas Rodd about the Batumi bottleneck.
“Across the eastern coast of the Black Sea, through the foothills of the Southern Caucasus Mountains one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles takes place. Over a million birds of prey pass through a narrow bottleneck in Georgia. Below them, scientists and birders eagerly watch and record the skies whilst at the same time local traditions send showers of bullets and nets snapping in their direction.
A clash of ideals and beliefs, this film will take you into the heart of an evolving story. A story which explores a clash of western ideals with local customs, a shared love and excitement for the magic that is migration, a world apart in how they enjoy the spectacle. A conflict waiting to happen or an opportunity to show a new way in which conservationists can work together with local communities to avoid a deep and bitter battle, safeguarding the future of migration in Georgia.”
The documentary is only free to watch until May 14th, 2021.
