SYNOPSIS - 'BIRD OF PREY' Directed by Dan Cortes

A harrowing film about compassion and discovery 'Bird of Prey' tells the short story of a young Huron hunter who comes into contact with the most despised and feared enemies among his people: a Jesuit Priest from New France.

 

Set in the Huron territory of North America in 1642, the young hunter enters into his dilemma; should he satisfy the black robe "demon's" thirst for water or send him into the afterlife with his own blade?

 

Inspired by a true story.

 

 

 


DIRECTOR'S NOTE

 

'Bird of Prey' is a small film with a big theme that deals with compassion in a savage world of indifference. It is a film about the unexpected. Like taking a bumble bee and a spider and placing them in the same jar. What happens? They become friends.
