A Paradise Lost Preview
A PARADISE LOST is the enchanting, yet harrowing tale of a Hawaiian finch who sued the State of Hawai‘i to prevent its imminent extinction, the first animal in history to be named lead plaintiff in a federal lawsuit. The film weaves animation and archival footage to visualize the landmark environmental case "Palila v. Hawaii" told by the stuffed Palila bird who sat at the plaintiff's table.
