The Wood Thrush Connection won the Best Short Documentary award at the 12th Belize International Film Festival.  You might see someone you know in the documentary.  Spoiler alert, it's Roni Martinez.  Those little birds really fly a long way to experience the beauty of Belize, where much of the documentary takes place. 

 

The BIFF has pictures of all the winners from the ceremony.
