After the wild turkey was reintroduced to Massachusetts fifty years ago, the population has since exploded and spilled over into our urban areas. TURKEY TOWN examines the positive and negative consequences, and the role these iconic birds play in our everyday lives.

TURKEY TOWN

Churchill, Manitoba, is famous as an international destination for photographing polar bears. Through a shift in perspective, NUISANCE BEAR reveals an obstacle course of tourist paparazzi and wildlife officers whom bears must navigate during their annual migration.

PONY BOYS
