Mainstream Feature Film – H is for Hawk

This BAFTA nominated film based on the memoir by Helen Macdonald – H is for Hawk follows Helen (Claire Foy), who, after the sudden death of her father (Brendan Gleeson), loses herself in the memories of their time together,  birding and exploring the natural world.  To work through her profound loss, she turns to the ancient art of falconry—rooted in European tradition –  and trains a wild goshawk named Mabel.   As she teaches the bird to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life,  and what begins as an act of endurance,  transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

A poignant exploration of human connection to nature and the healing power of animal companionship. Certificate 12A
