Watching a documentary on a subject you know nothing about

As someone who knew next-to-nothing about birding, I loved watching these two brothers dive in head-on. It’s informative, honest, and extremely funny without knocking the birding community. There is incredible footage of birds, being on the road, and an unexpected dissection of the toxic gamification of “listing”. It was peculiar to observe such competitive behavior within a nature-based hobby that I wouldn’t have expected to be so cagey and particular. It’s a glimpse into the world and ethics of birdwatching, and also an honest reflection of the vast weirdness of America. I will think about this movie for a long time!
