Film Synopsis
Wildlife reveals how all living beings are connected. In Arizona, Liberty Wildlife is a wildlife rehabilitation, education, and conservation center that benefits animals and people. To accomplish its goals, Liberty Wildlife works in concert with state and federal agencies, local municipalities, utilities, and other non-profits to ensure the survival of wildlife in the urban interface and throughout the region. These symbiotic relationships nourish animals, humans, and the place we call home.
The Weight of a Feather also tells the story of the Liberty Wildlife Non-Eagle Feather Repository. This unique program provides feathers to Native Americans for use in ceremony. Personal stories illuminate how the feather repository preserves Indigenous cultural identity and protects birds. This is an uplifting film about how animals teach us to live compassionate, vibrant, resilient lives.
