It opens with hundreds of rats at night in a trash-strewn lot in Delhi - and it is gorgeous. The cinematography in this doc is a gift - just breathtaking. Constant juxtaposition of the garbage & destruction we humans like to wreak, and the animals who adapt to survive in the mess. In the midst of the chaos, two brothers and a cousin work to save the beautiful Indian kites who are plummeting out of the polluted air. These homegrown activists live hard lives themselves - running a soap dispenser business while rescuing and housing kites in the basement of their sprawling, ramshackle home. They are also Muslim, and are threatened by the Delhi riots of 2020. Do not miss this movie - it will open your eyes to many things. And make you love kites.
