★ 第12屆世界自然野生生物映祭「環境保護獎」

本片由國內資深生態攝影大師梁皆得執導，著名生態藝術家何華仁策劃監製，特別邀請2013金馬獎最佳原創電影音樂獎得主林強為本片配樂。
1991 年，人稱老鷹先生的沈振中老師，親身經歷基隆外木山一群黑鳶因為棲地破壞而消失，因而放棄10 年的教職生涯，全職投入尋找黑鳶，以及他們為何在台灣消失的原因。這20 年來，過著簡樸生活的沈振中老師在許多民眾的支持下完成了黑鳶二十年的守護計劃，實踐了對自已的承諾，這是2011 年，這一年，他沒有退休金的退休了。
然而，故事並未終止，而是有了新的傳承。在台灣猛禽研究會的共同支持下，年輕一代研究者林惠珊帶領著既有的調查員、屏科大野保所鳥類生態研究室的研究生及猛禽會會員等等，繼續執行黑鳶的族群普查與生態行為研究，同時也發現了友善農業對於黑鳶的生存至為重要，過量的農藥與老鼠藥使用，危害的不僅是農田裡的生命，可能也將危害人類的身體健康，而這一切與生態環境、以及我們人類的永續生活息息相關，正所謂今日鳥類明日人類…。

The black kite, generally referred to as ‘the eagle’ in Taiwan, used to be very widespread and so common that it is the main character in a well-known Taiwanese children’s game. However, it has now become so rare that very few people ever get to see it.
There is one man who vowed to safeguard this endangered bird. He was so determined that he spent the best 20 years of his life traveling throughout Taiwan to find out why the black kite is disappearing. His name is Shen Zhen Zhong, better known as ‘Mr. Kite’.
From 1992 to 2015 film documentary maker Liang Chieh-Te followed Mr. Kite’s journey. Through his camera lenses, he has recorded the story of how, because of love, one person can cross the species barrier and totally devote himself to a cause with no regrets.
Let us all re-establish the close relationship between humans and nature so that we can contribute to the earth’s sustainable future.
