From Billions to None follows naturalist and author Joel Greenberg and his friends on a quest to reveal the incredible story of how the passenger pigeon, the most abundant bird species in North America for thousands of years, became extinct by human hands in a heartbeat. From Billions to None tells the remarkable story of the passenger pigeon and explores its striking relevance to conservation challenges today. Interweaving rare archival material, CGI animation that brings the flocks of millions to life and aerial cinematography, the film recreates the awe-inspiring nature of these birds, and presents reveals why, 100 years later, it's important to remember the event.
