Dr Birdman

Storyline

If you speak some Thai, it’s not hard to follow though unfortunately there’re no English subtitles for this lovely experience. Watching a cardiologist flip through fifteen books of nature sketches and notes, lovingly drawn and painted over thirty years, doesn’t sound like much of a movie. Instead of attending a lecture, however, we are absorbed and amused because our forest guide by art happens to be Rungsrit Kanjanavanit or ‘Dr Mong’, well-known Thai conservationist, bird-watcher and nature artist.
