As Free As A Bird: A Rafael Story

Meet Rafael, a newly hatched baby bird who, along with his mother and sister, finds more than just a new home in the wilds of the Florida Everglades. Their encounters with gators, and poachers, launch each member of the family on a series of adventures that will continue in the upcoming animated series, A Bird's Tale. But their tale of adventure, self-sacrifice and love begins here.
