The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill - a film by Judy Irving


"A thoroughly absorbing portrait of one man's discipline and commitment -- 
and, yes, spiritual transformation...
Quite simply, a beautiful film, in both form and content.
You'll laugh. You'll cry. And your heart is guaranteed to soar."
- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

Mark Bittner, a dharma bum*, former street musician in San Francisco, falls in with the flock as he searches for meaning in his life, unaware that the wild parrots will bring him everything he needs.
