**By: Louisa Moore / www.ScreenZealots.com** A traditional documentary of the cinéma vérité variety, “All That Breathes” is a beautiful story of human kindness towards winged creatures. The film tells the story of two brothers who run a bird hospital in India that’s dedicated to rescuing injured black kites, a prolific raptor that soars high above the rooftops of New Delhi. It’s one of the world’s most populated cities, and the extreme heat, rampant pollution, and choking smog wreaks havoc on the avian species, causing them to fly into high rise buildings, become entangled in wires, and literally drop from the sky.

Meantime, the city is suffering from violent domestic strife that causes them to send their families to neighbouring Old Delhi - a move that enables them to focus solely on their opening of a pet care shop. Nobody is medically qualified here - the family business is soap dispensers; but a bit of reading and a painstakingly acquired working knowledge of just how to heal many of their illnesses - along with a genuine commu
