"When Silence Becomes The Song" is a 60-minute documentary following a determined film student as she teams up with passionate scientists and conservation videographers on a journey across the remote and rain-soaked Alaka'i Plateau in search of the 'Akikiki, a critically endangered honeycreeper species found solely in the mountains of Kaua'i. As she records their race against time to find and rescue the remaining 40 individuals before they succumb to avian malaria, she realizes how akin humans are to this little bird. This documentary serves as a rallying call to protect the 'Akikiki from extinction and reminds us of our own fragility.
