| Million Dollar Pigeons is an uplifting and ever dramatic story about the world of international ‘money races’ and the rapidly growing industry that surrounds these athletes of the sky.Whether you keep pigeons in your back garden shed or a loft made for kings, the principals do not change. To win the Olympics of pigeon racing you need to be a world class breeder with exceptional pigeons AND… have a lot of luck too. The more birds you can afford to enter, the better your chances, making it extremely difficult for the working class man to compete.The world is a smaller place these days and all eyes are on the results of these prestigious races. Chinese billionaires keep a close eye on which pigeons have the winning recipe while the contestants watch and smile through gritted teeth because a million dollars is worth fighting for!Section: Special PresentationsDirected by: Gavin FitzGerald Festival Screenings: Friday, April 29, 8:30pm ET: World Premiere, Isabel Bader TheatreTuesday, May 3, 10:45am ET: Screening, TIFF Bell Lightbox 2Saturday, May 7, 8:00pm ET: Screening, TIFF Bell Lightbox |
