Alex de Verteuil is a Trinidadian filmmaker who has been producing documentaries for the past 25 years. His films include Jab: The Blue Devils of Paramin (ttff/06), and ’70: Remembering a Revolution (ttff/11; Jury Prize for Best Local Feature).
Poaching and habitat destruction were responsible for the disappearance of the blue and gold macaw from Trinidad’s Nariva Swamp. This is the story of one woman’s crusade to bring these birds back to Nariva, and how her efforts have resulted in one of the world’s most successful parrot reintroduction programmes.
