The Legend of Pale Male (2009)

This is a refreshing story and film in these days of mega movie stars and special effects which seem all too necessary for film fans to leave the theater with a feeling their money was well spent. Granted, Frederic doesn't tell a story as well as Clint Eastwood does but I felt the simplicity and honesty was nonetheless endearing.

This documentary is well-told and inspiring story of a first-time filmmaker finding himself in the midst of an unfolding miracle of urban wildlife--majestic red-tailed hawks nesting in New York City for the first time in 100 years. The cinematography is captivating, the screenplay and score are masterful.

When the power of nature and greatness of human spirit join forces - we all need this film and more like it in our lives!

This is a fascinating story. I was the lone soldier at the 12:10 showing Downtown.
