Overview

World Premiere
Deep in the ancient, dense jungles of Southeast Asia lives a magnificent bird. With its prominent beak, elegant tail feathers and unmistakable plumage, the Helmeted Hornbill is a creature that is striking, proud and awe-inspiring. But in the last decade, the Helmeted Hornbill has been all but wiped out by poachers for its coveted ivory-like casque. This film follows conservationist Yoki Hadiprakarsa and photographer Tim Laman on an urgent mission to tell the story of the Helmeted Hornbill before it’s too late.
