About the Movie
All That Breathes is a documentary film that follows brothers Mohammad Saud and Nadeem Shehzad as they rescue and care for injured birds in India. Growing up, Mohammad and Nadeem fed the Black Kite birds flying through the New Delhi sky, following the Muslim belief that doing so would get rid of troubles. Now, as pollution harms the birds, the brothers decide to work together and save as many as they can.
