About the film
To uncover nature hiding in plain sight, Aotearoa enters a global community competition that sees ecologists and enthusiasts scour cities to discover new species. For some, it's a playful quest, for others a long-standing rivalry, but the stakes are higher than just winning...can taking photographs contribute to saving the planet, one snapshot at a time?
Here the Wild Things Are launches Tuesday, October 1st, as part of the new Loading Docs collection on www.loadingdocs.net
Made with support from NZ On Air, Te Māngai Pāho and The New Zealand Film Commission.
