The Birdman of Cooper Island
Specials
George Divoky has returned to the rugged conditions of Alaska's coastline every year since 1972 to collect data on a dwindling Black Guillemot colony. His patient observations of the arctic seabird's population on shrinking sea ice was one of the world's first documented evidence of climate change, thrusting him into the spotlight. In director Kevin McMahon's sensitive homage to a scientist driven to observe the sea bird's story in its rapidly changing environment, George wrestles with becoming a reluctant hero in the climate change movement, and coming to terms with the meaning of his life's journey on his remote arctic island paradise.
