Hawk Watch
Directed by Alicia Wszelaki
Endangered raptors. A dedicated crew of citizen scientists. A fragile desert environment. The HAWK WATCH Documentary follows local conservationists as they attempt to establish a legacy: protecting the Swainson’s Hawk migration in Southern California. The “Hawksters” strive for success, but aging, climate change, business development, and even Mother Nature herself produce obstacles that threaten it all.
