Greenlit: Toucan Nation, Discovery Channel
Toucan Nation (1 x 60′) – Follows the uplifting story of Grecia, a toucan whose unconscionable abuse sparked international outrage and inspired a national animal welfare movement. Seeking to right a wrong and improve the life of this helpless bird after his beak was mutilated and he was left to die in the Costa Rican countryside, animal rescuers and veterinarians enlist a team of volunteer experts including 3D-printing engineers to design and construct a prosthetic beak. At the same time, a committed group of activists wage a battle to implement penalties for animal cruelty, motivated by the notion that every life — whether wild or human — is inherently valuable and must be protected. This film chronicles each step of the journey as they Zooave animal refuge works to save this beautiful bird and activists across Costa Rica rally to bring about lasting change.
