The Nightingale’s Song
|
|
| Imagine never again hearing a bird from your childhood memories. This trailer for the film "The Nightingale’s Song" explores one man’s appreciation for a beloved species that is disappearing. As climate change becomes more perceptible across the world, we will sadly see a shift and loss of species which are currently part of our collective memory. Knowing this, we can take time now to cherish relationships with species that might one day become extinct. Nightingales are one such species that is threatened. They have lit up the forests of England at night every spring for thousands of years, inspiring generations of writers, artists, and musicians. But as climate change and development harm their habitats, nightingales may disappear from the country within the next fifty years. What would be forgotten if we no longer heard the call of this beloved bird? In this film, we meet Sam Lee, a folk singer who draws on an ancient lineage of traditional folk music as he joins this elusive bird in spontaneous song. Through his practice of devotion to the nightingale, Sam opens a pathway into a deepening relationship of care, stewardship, and love with these songbirds and the living world we share. |
