What I learned about life, love, dream and loneliness from my father – a documentary director’s lens.
Synopsis: My Father–The Birdman is an intimate 15-minute audio documentary that traces the quiet, devoted life of Sun Ning, a Chinese wildlife filmmaker who has spent over a decade documenting birds across the country. Told through the lens of his daughter, the podcast blends poetic narration, original field recordings, and heartfelt family dialogue to explore themes of freedom, solitude, artistic obsession, and generational love. As she interviews her father and mother, the daughter uncovers not only a portrait of a man deeply committed to his craft, but also the silent emotional currents that shape their family. Ultimately, the story becomes a tender tribute—where the daughter’s microphone meets her father’s lens, bridging silence with sound.
