Shawn Hayes leads a life of devotion. For him, falconry is more than a deep partnership with raptors: it's his life's work. As an American falconry ambassador, he's carved a space for himself where people of color haven't always been welcome. It's taken him across the globe, into strongholds of tradition and conservation. This film is about more than what humans can train birds to do-it's about what those birds can teach us about living in partnership with wild creatures and wild places.
