Bird Boy
In BIRD BOY, August (Litlhonolofatso Litlhakanyane) is a city kid who's sent to live on a quiet farm in South Africa after losing his mother. Struggling to adjust to his new life with kind but unfamiliar caretakers, Emmie (Téa Leoni) and Thabo (Tony Kgoroge), August finds comfort in caring for a mysterious ostrich egg he discovers near the farm. When the egg hatches, the baby bird quickly grows into a giant, loyal companion. As August bonds with the ostrich he names Koobus, he begins to heal and find his place in his new family. But when the ostrich causes chaos at school and lands them in trouble, August must make a brave choice to protect his friend and do what he believes is right.
