Best DOCUMENTARY FEATURE
Produced by Shaunak Sen, Aman Mann and Teddy Leifer
Premiering at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, “All That Breathes” follows two brothers in New Delhi dedicating their lives to saving birds falling from the polluted sky, specifically the black kite. The documentary is beautifully shot and delves into all the emotions the brothers go through, from humor when one of the kites steals their glasses to frustration when water comes pouring into their garage/workshop during a storm to fear when violent uprisings threaten their part of the city.
