Winding through the maze of downtown Chicago, the Chicago Bird Collision Monitors (CCCM) work alongside the Field Museum and Willowbrook Wildlife Center to rescue birds that collide with skyscrapers, and study the birds that are killed during their annual migrations. The tenderhearted work presents a lens of environmental change that impacts every urban landscape.

Escaping postwar Europe, a visionary architect (Adrien Brody) arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage. But power and legacy come at a heavy cost.

After being offered the chance to showcase his art in Chicago’s most famous museum, a black sculptor reflects on decades of rejection. Elliot’s film is a melodic portrayal of the bias of history, and the institutions that control its interpretations.
