All That Breathes | Critical Content 2023 | Director Shaunak Sen in Conversation with John Ridley

Critical Content is a Documentary Film Event curated by Nō Studios Founder and Oscar-winning Screenwriter, John Ridley and team, featuring conversations with some of the most important voices in documentary filmmaking this year.
ALL THAT BREATHES, directed by Shaunak Sen follows two brothers who run a bird hospital dedicated to rescuing injured black kites, a staple in the skies of New Delhi, India.
In one of the world’s most populated cities, where cows, rats, monkeys, frogs, and hogs jostle cheek-by-jowl with people, the “Kite Brothers” care for thousands of these mesmerizing creatures that drop daily from New Delhi’s smog-choked skies.
As environmental toxicity and civil unrest escalate, the relationship between this family and the neglected kites forms a poetic chronicle of the city’s collapsing ecology and deepening social fault lines.

A refreshing look in non fiction story telling

Shaunak is such an intelligent filmmaker, if I can call him that. He is more of a philosopher of images

Excellent! one must say , after watching the trailer. Hope someday he will explore the feelings of an animal beeing brought to slaughter for pleasing the Cruel God and then rescued back to the touch of a person like Nadeem Sehjad or Mohammed Saud. Possibly the filming of this journey may change the thought process of a large section of humanity. Being a true story Heroes my regards and respect to them. So humane!
