Seeing/Telling The Truth About Pelicans & Nuclear Power

 

 

In the latest episode of the Bowing to Elephants Podcast, award-winning filmmaker Judy Irving (Sundance and Emmy Awards) joins me for a conversation about everything from nuclear power to pelicans!

 

Judy’s groundbreaking film, Dark Circle, exposes the links between nuclear power and weapons. Over time, Judy’s films have evolved to reflect her love of nature, especially birds. The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill is a love story about a homeless street musician’s connection with a flock of wild parrots. Pelican Dreams is about California brown pelicans. Her next film, Cold Refuge, will be about swimming in San Francisco Bay. (It’s definitely not warm water.)

Listen to this episode today, and join us as we discuss:

• Judy’s powerful documentary, Dark Circle, and the dangers of nuclear power
• Prioritizing pictures over people: critical when Judy is editing her films 
• The love of birds 
• The one thing you must have to observe nature and its inhabitants 
• How to love swimming in the San Francisco Bay!
• Her upcoming film, Cold Refuge
• What drives Judy and motivates her
