LISTERS: A Glimpse Into Extreme Birdwatching

Recommended by Michaela

Two brothers, a van, some cameras and a mission to see as many birds as they can in the space of one year. It's a documentary (that they've made free to watch on YouTube!) about the world of birding, something I did not think I would care about. It's charming, informative and clearly made with a lot of love.

“These bros are delightful self-effacing storytellers, because its about the birds duh, and you find yourself emphatically charmed by them.”

“If you haven't watched Listers, I highly recommend blocking off 2 hours for this beauty. I am not a bird watcher but this definitely made me more interested in watching birds! And also watching bird-watchers, a hilarious bunch. This is mostly a human story about two brothers--complete amateur birders--on a quest to see as many birds as they can in one year while living out of a minivan.”
