Sounds like this film has relevance for birds and natural history in general.

THE CITY DARK is a feature documentary about light pollution and the disappearing night sky. After moving to light-polluted New York City from rural Maine, filmmaker Ian Cheney asks: “Do we need the dark?” Exploring the threat of killer asteroids in Hawai’i, tracking hatching turtles along the Florida coast, and rescuing injured birds on Chicago streets, Cheney unravels the myriad implications of a globe glittering with lights—including health risks from exposure to light at night, and a generation of kids without a glimpse of the universe above. Featuring stunning astrophotography and a cast of eclectic scientists, philosophers, historians, and lighting designers, THE CITY DARK is the definitive story of light pollution and the disappearing starsThis film is a NY Times Critics' Pick, Winner of the Jury Prize for Best Score/Music at the SXSW Film Festival, and the winner of the Grand Jury Prize Environmental Film Fest at Yale.Join us for a thought-provoking film and discussion!
