Adam and Ryan Spence, brothers motivated purely by financial gain, anxiously await the death of their father to claim their inheritance. However, their plans take a shocking turn when they learn that William has left his estate to the Indigenous people (The Birds) of a remote hamlet in Northern Alberta. Determined to claim their fortune, the brothers return to the community, only to find it devastated by a cancer crisis tied to industrial development. Filmed near Calgary, The Birds Who Fear Death is a mindful film about living and what
is left behind.
