Mongrel Media Drops Trailer for The Birds Who Fear Death, a Powerful Drama About Greed and Consequences

Mongrel Media has just released the trailer for The Birds Who Fear Death, a gripping drama written and directed by Sanjay Patel. The film stars Adam Beach, Simon Baker, Graham Greene, Caren Moore, and Tanaya Beatty in a story that explores themes of greed, legacy, and the devastating effects of industrial development on Indigenous communities. Set against the stunning backdrop of Northern Alberta, the film delves into the lives of two brothers, Adam and Ryan Spence, whose lives take a drastic turn following the death of their father.

 

The plot centers around the Spence brothers, motivated purely by financial gain, as they await the death of their father, William, to inherit the family restaurant business. However, their plans are upended when they discover that their father has left his estate to the Indigenous people of a remote hamlet in Northern Alberta. Determined to claim the fortune that they believe is rightfully theirs, the brothers return to the community, only to find it devastated by a cancer crisis linked to industrial development––a project their father had once championed as Chief.

 

As tensions mount, the acting Chief of the community holds William responsible for the devastation, while the Spence brothers seek alliances with others to push their agenda. What begins as a fight for inheritance soon turns into a battle over justice, as the brothers face off with local leaders, and when a deal falls through, it sparks chaos. The resulting tragic confrontation leads to monumental and transformative consequences, forcing everyone involved to confront the true cost of their actions.

 

Produced by Sanjay Patel, The Birds Who Fear Death is a poignant, hard-hitting film set to release on March 21st, 2025. With its exploration of personal greed, environmental destruction, and the clash of cultures, the film is sure to spark thought-provoking conversations. As the trailer reveals, the powerful performances by the cast and the timely, relevant themes promise to make The Birds Who Fear Death a compelling cinematic experience.
