All That Breathes (2022)

In one of the world’s most populated cities, two brothers — Nadeem and Saud — devote their lives to the quixotic effort of protecting the black kite, a majestic bird of prey essential to the ecosystem of New Delhi that has been falling from the sky at alarming rates. Amid environmental toxicity and social unrest, the ‘kite brothers’ spend day and night caring for the creatures in their makeshift avian basement hospital. Director Shaunak Sen (Cities of Sleep) explores the connection between the kites and the brothers who help them return to the skies, offering a mesmerizing chronicle of inter-species coexistence. Acclaimed at Sundance and now nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature, Tampa Theatre is proud to present All That Breathes, a mesmerizing and poetic thesis on the best humanity has to offer and the political and ecological challenges we will all have to confront.
