About The Incredible Comeback of The California Condor
The majestic California Condor, North America's largest flying land bird, was pushed to the brink of extinction with only 22 individuals left. This is the epic story of a remarkable three-decade-long battle to bring this prehistoric scavenger back to the skies. Follow the dedicated scientists in Arizona who are fighting a deadly, invisible threat: lead poisoning. Condors, nature’s cleanup crew, feed on the remains of animals, which often contain tiny fragments from traditional lead ammunition. Witness the rare, high-stakes process of tracking and trapping these magnificent birds for life-saving chelation therapy to remove the neurotoxin from their system. This film presents the crucial conservation choice facing American hunters and policymakers: an environmental threat that affects not just the condor, but potentially other scavengers and even humans consuming game meat.
