This true story about love, nature, and nurture will touch your heart, and surprise you at the end. A homeless musician adopts a flock of wild parrots in the hills of San Francisco. The almost transcendental bond between Mark and the individualistic, sometimes eccentric birds, recalls the spirit of St. Francis. And the bonds shared, broken, lost, and refound among the little parrot pairs-and the lonely outsider, Connor-will make your heart soar with the beautiful flock. Wild Parrots reminds you of the fragile yet resilient beauty of nature, and how powerful is our perception and love when we attune our ears, our eyes, and our heart. A Top Ten Film of the Year (San Francisco Chronicle). 83 min. plus extras.
