We are delighted to invite you to the premiere of the short documentary, Wind Birds, directed and produced by Joel Caldwell, at the Charleston Library Society on Thursday, October 15, with our friends from the MARSH Project and Coastal Expeditions Foundation!
This film depicts what makes our coastline an incredible place for birds to call home, nest, and stop over during migration, and the challenges these near-shore and wild islands face from overdevelopment, habitat loss, and sea-level rise.
We look forward to the debut of the short film Wind Birds, along with Black Rail’s Tale. This powerful duo focuses on culture and conservation and acts as an influential way to approach conservation. A panel discussion after the films will be held with J. Drew Lanham, author, poet, and one of the most prominent ornithologists in America, Director and Producer Joel Caldwell, Captain Chris Crolley of Coastal Expeditions and mayor of Awendaw, along with the Founder of Coastal Conservation League, Dana Beach, for a deep discussion about the essential value of South Carolina’s five breeding islands and the critical importance of our bird habitats.
