"Those boys, they're good boys. They're looking for Mother Earth..." "They don't know it." Mongrel Media has unveiled an official trailer for the Canadian indie film titled The Birds Who Fear Death, made by indie Indo-Canadian filmmaker Sanjay Patel. This originally premiered at the 2024 Calgary & Whistler Film Festivals in Canada last year, but never showed up down in the US. Two greedy brothers, disinherited and strapped for cash, venture into the Canadian wilderness in search of themselves, their heritage, and a long-lost fortune. They discover that their father has left his estate to the Indigenous people of a remote hamlet in Northern Alberta.

This looks really powerful. // Continue Reading ›
