HAWKWATCH is more than a documentary. It’s a call to action—a powerful story that reveals the fragile beauty of one of nature’s greatest migrations and the people fighting to protect it. With your support, we can take this story to audiences across the globe, inspiring awareness, education, and conservation where it matters most.
Swainson’s Hawks migrate 10,000 miles each year, but their future is uncertain. Development, climate change, and loss of habitat threaten this ancient journey. Our film is ready—but we need your help to protect the migration by getting this story into the hearts and minds of viewers everywhere.
