Since their round of fame, the brothers, who dedicated themselves to rehabbing birds injured by kite strings in the Delhi sky, are gaining worldwide support — and an infusion of donations.
won the Golden Eye award for top documentary at the Cannes Film Festival in 2022. Pictured at Cannes: Salik Rehman , a friend who works with the bird-saving brothers profiled in the film, and the two brothers: Nadeem Shehzad and Mohammad Saud . The film's director, Shaunak Sen, stands between the siblings.It's a game with lethal consequences, as the glass-covered thread can cut through more than other kite strings.
The brothers collect injured kites from five other bird hospitals across Delhi. Those hospitals say they aren't equipped to house and feed carnivorous birds like the kites. So far this year, the brothers say they've saved 2,246 birds — a big jump from the 1,000 or so treated in a typical year. During filming, the brothers had a makeshift bird enclosure on the second floor of their home, covered in green mesh. They've now moved the enclosure to the terrace on the third floor and rebuilt it with tiles and stainless steel, making it easier to clean. Blue tin sheets line the roof.
It's a sentiment that many wildlife rescuers are familiar with, says Dr. Ulrike Streicher, rehabilitation director and veterinarian at the Cascades Raptor Center in Oregon. When the film was shown at the annual National Wildlife Rehabilitators Symposium in March 2023, she says, many in the audience felt the brothers' pains and struggles very strongly."It is a tough crowd — people who see sad, heartbreaking and horrifying things every day," says Streicher.
