This short film passion project came about from a chance meeting years ago with a young naturalist called Liv Grant at a wildlife media event in London. In 2018 Liv got in touch and said that she and her colleague Annika Schlemm were planning an expedition to the remote island of Ua Huka in French Polynesia. They were going to research to critically endangered birds, found nowhere else, the ultramarine lorikeet and iphis monarch.
