Film Overland Appalachian Theatre of the High Country Boone NC YNOPSIS In a breathtaking journey across four continents, three extraordinary people practice the ancient art of hunting with birds to connect with the natural world and feed their inner wild. (This film contains iImages of birds hunting and consuming prey.) Synopsis: From award-winning filmmakers Elisabeth Haviland James (The Loving Story, Althea) and Revere La Noue comes The Falconbridge Collection’s feature documentary, Overland, an intimate and epic portrait of three ancient souls. The heroes of Overland bond with birds of prey, much in the same way it has been done for 6000 years, in a world where the wilderness they depend on, and the lifestyle they cling to, are threatened on all sides. Overland explores our connection to the wild that is fading out of sight and out of mind. Following the extraordinary quests of three falconers, it is a stunning cinematic journey across four continents that twists and turns like nature itself, bridging ancient to modern, east to west, and earth to sky. Lauren, a daredevil anthropologist, travels the world collecting ancient falconry secrets, building her skills to train injured eagles to fly and hunt again. But when she encounters a confused eagle whose tragic past with humans seems beyond repair, doubt creeps in and she begins to question everything she thought she knew. Meanwhile, Giovanni, a modern-day Renaissance man, has given up the bustle of Rome for a solitary life with his wolves, horse and hawks on a tiny countryside farm. When a transcendent experience with an 800-year-old falconry book forces him to rethink his purpose - and the menace of the “digital cage” - he realizes he must make a change. Far away in Dubai, Khalifa is training to be the world’s best falcon racer. For thousands of years his nomadic ancestors hunted with the falcon to feed their tribe in the harsh Arabian desert. Now that cars have replaced camels and inter
