Ι am attracted to stories with radical characters, and this film features some of the most radical and passionate people I have ever encountered. As the opening of the film indicates, we are living in a time of the killing off of the animals. Species are being wiped off the planet at an alarming rate, and something needs to be done about it. In Emptying the skies we look at how migratory songbirds are being senselessly slaughtered in Europe to levels of near extinction, and at a group of individuals who are fed up with it. To some, their methods might seem radical, the dangers they face might seem crazy, but to me, they are acting with the kind of passion and intensity that is necessary to actually get something done. Emptying the skies Activists brush with the law and the mafia in their bid to rescue songbirds from ending up on European dinner tables.
