Get to Know the Misunderstood Canada Goose

(for a break!!!)

*I chose Canada geese as my subject because of the unique place they occupy in the minds of Canadians. Many geese have adapted to city life but still retain their migratory instincts. For Canadians, Canada geese can be both an urban pest and a majestic creature that symbolizes the changing of the seasons. In many ways this contradictory relationship mirrors humanity’s connection to the wider natural world: We idolize and cherish nature, but obsessively try to control it to the point of destruction.

By my taking a step back and allowing the geese to tell this story, a different style of nature film began to take shape.
