Synopsis:
A film about bats, their struggle to survive, and the humans who help them.
Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the sixth mass extinction, filmmaker Kristin Tièche explores the crucial roles that bats play in our shared environment, and how a team of women bat biologists set out to save a North American bat species from a deadly fungal disease called white-nose syndrome to create a better future for both bats and humans.
The Invisible Mammal is a feature-length documentary film about bats, infectious disease, and women in science. The Invisible Mammal tells the captivating story of a dedicated team as they strive to protect North America's bats against a deadly disease rapidly spreading across the continent. In this intensely cinematic film, bats are rendered poetically visible: spectacularly streaming out of caves or bridges, or cradled in a gloved hand, wings extended. This film follows Project Fat Bat, a potential solution to help rebuild healthy bat populations across North America. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, attributed to a bat species in China, their work gets interrupted, but their commitment never waivers. The race to save bats is on.
At once a nature film, a science film, and a character-driven adventure film, The Invisible Mammal will immerse you in the world of bats and forever change the way you feel about these amazing little creatures.
