"When Silence Becomes The Song"- Saving the rarest forest birds in the world.

“When Silence Becomes The Song” is a 60-minute documentary following a determined film student as she teams up with passionate scientists and conservation videographers on a journey across the remote and rain-soaked Alakaʻi Plateau in search of the ʻakikiki, a critically endangered honeycreeper species found solely in the mountains of Kauaʻi. As she records their race against time to find and rescue the remaining 40 individuals before they succumb to avian malaria, she finds inspiration in the unwavering determination of the human spirit, witnessing firsthand the incredible lengths creatures will go to survive against all odds. This documentary serves as a rallying call to protect not just the ʻAkikiki, but all species from extinction, and to encourage others to address local issues impacting their communities and environments.
