Anatomy of Flight

  • Anatomy of Flight
    By Lisa A. Price, directed by Zanne Gerrard

    Synopsis:
    When a prominent climate champion dies under suspicious circumstances, renowned mycologist Dr. Catherine Babin is called to investigate. Deep in a Pacific Northwest forest, she and her graduate students uncover a chain of ecological disruptions linking climate-driven migration shifts, collapsing species relationships, and a newly established toxic mushroom. As the science points toward uncomfortable truths, hidden agendas emerge: a journalist with divided loyalties, a former scientist turned fossil-fuel lobbyist, and ambitious young researchers forced to confront the cost of success. Anatomy of Flight is an eco-thriller that explores climate change, scientific integrity, ambition, and the moral compromises hidden beneath achievement.
