This intimate portrait film follows master falconer Rodney Stotts on his mission to build a bird sanctuary and to provide access to nature for his stressed community. The Falconer weaves his present-day mission with the story of his past, both of which are deeply rooted in issues of social and environmental injustice. Stotts’s worldview in a nutshell: nature heals. In a forgotten corner of our nation’s capital, he takes the time to break through to those too often dismissed as “hard to reach.” This is a story of second chances: for injured birds of prey, for an abandoned plot of land, for a group of teenagers who have dropped out of high school, and for the falconer himself.

En El Salvador a Monseñor Oscar Romero se le conocía como "la voz de los sin voz", la voz de los desposeídos, de los campesinos, de todos los que luchaban por los derechos humanos y en contra de la injusticia. Era un hombre de provincia, retraído y de corta estatura. Cuando las autoridades religiosas y laicas lo designaron para el arzobispado de San Salvador, la capital, tenían la plena expectativa de que desempeñaría el papel tradicional de la jerarquía eclesiástica: apoyar al gobierno y sostener el estatus quo. Este desacierto cambiaría la historia de El Salvador. La película relata la historia de los tres años de liderazgo de Monseñor Romero en la iglesia salvadoreña. También fueron los últimos tres años de su vida.

Charles Lindbergh lived a life of absolutes, never doubting his own abilities or the altitude of his own moral high ground. His extraordinary character brought him unparalleled accomplishment but also public humiliation and lonely isolation, as his faith in genetic determinism could barely conceal his narrow, naive, and racist social and political views.
