The Grand Cinema will be screening a special, one day screening of a documentary exposé about the poaching of endangered migratory songbirds in southern Europe as part of our Tuesday Film Series <http://www.grandcinema.com/tuesday-film-series-1/> . The thriller documentary, Emptying The Skies <http://www.grandcinema.com/tuesday-film-series-1/emptying-the-skies/> , will play on July 21st with one matinee and one evening showing. Based on an magazine essay <http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2010/07/26/emptying-the-skies> written for The New Yorker by best-selling writer Jonathan Franzen, Emptying The Skies chronicles the poaching and subsequent decline of migratory songbirds in the Mediterranean, a number of which currently face extinction even as the birds fetch high prices on the black market. Learn about a new dimension of the ecosystem of our neighbors across the Atlantic and be inspired by the brave work of advocates to conserve these beautiful birds.
