Does mankind love to fight? Is violent competition indeed an inevitable behavioral experience? What attracted Robert Gardner and viewers to images of war? Gardener’s classic film, Dead Birds, approaches these basic issues directly and seemingly unsympathetic, but in fact touches upon the roots of human existence and the primary conflict of documentary filmmaking.
