documentary
On New Years Eve 2011 5,000 red-wing blackbirds fell from the sky in a small town in Arkansas. Also, the same night thousands of fish died along the banks of the Arkansas river. This filmmaker lived there, desperately needed a thesis project and latched on to this event. Out of that came this film.
There's just not much there. It was eventually determined that the fishkill was a result of natural causes and the birds were killed by fireworks. Faced with these pedestrian explanations this guy strains mightily to create interest. He uses primitive animation, talking heads and area footage to produce a short (45 minutes) doc of minimal interest with a dramatic arc that fizzles.
OK. I guess...
