A Documentary Film on the
Recovery of the California Condor
Shadow of the Condor is the story of an endangered species recovery program and the challenges faced in returning the prehistoric species Gymnogyps californianus to an environment that threatens its independent survival.
In production now, the documentary film, Shadow of the Condor, profiles an emblematic species and the people who have made it their mission to sustain the species in the wild after an eleventh-hour effort to save it from extinction. A story of human challenge set in the context of a nature documentary, the film focuses upon the people and the process of reintroducing a species bred in captivity back into the wilderness to which it belongs.
It's also a story that sheds light on what species recovery means when environmental degradation continues. We can save a species but can we make the choices necessary to enable its independent survival?
