Movie description:
Set on the imperiled coast of Louisiana, »Terrebonne« is the meditative story of a brother and sister who encounter unexpected trouble when they venture deep into the swamp in search of the mythic ivory-billed woodpecker.
»Terrebonne« is the story of survival of Jean Mauriere and her eleven-year-old brother, Fry. Their already-strained relationship is tested when Fry reports to his sister that he has spotted an ivory-billed woodpecker, for which researchers offered a 50,000 Dollar reward for verification of an active nesting site. Ray, an ornithologist, is brought in to help search for the bird.
It’s been years since Fry’s mom died, abandoning him in the care of his older sister Jean, who dropped out of high school in order to take care of him. Although getting by is proving more difficult than either could have imagined, things start looking up when Fry claims to have spotted an endangered ivory-billed woodpecker in the bayou near their isolated house in Terrebonne Parish. It’s a discovery that qualifies them for reward money if only they can lead a researcher to a live specimen or nesting site. But when Fry, Jean and Ray, an ornithological scientist, journey into the swamp in search of the rare bird, they encounter unexpected circumstances that cause the siblings to confront the grim reality of their own endangered existence.
