every dove is a pigeon and every pigeon is a dove

About This Movie

So, 'every dove is a pigeon and every pigeon is a dove' – what a title, right? This 2024 documentary dives deep into the often overlooked relationship between we humans and the pigeons that so frequently inhabit our urban landscapes. It’s a fascinating exploration, really, of how we maintain this weird separation from nature while surrounded by it. The pacing feels almost contemplative, giving you time to sit with these themes of defiance and exploitation. The visuals are striking, showcasing the resilience of pigeons against the backdrop of city life. It's not just about the birds, though; it's a reflection of our own disconnect. That sense of atmosphere, paired with the raw reality of urban existence, makes it distinctive. Quite a thought-provoking piece, to say the least.
