When Helen’s (Golden Globe-winner Claire Foy, The Crown) beloved father passes away, she is overtaken by grief and loses herself in memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together. She becomes obsessed with the idea of training her own goshawk, and so she brings the fearsome bird Mabel home.

Ready to embark on the arduous process of trying to train the wildest of animals, Helen fills the freezer with hawk food and turns off her phone. But as she labors to teach Mabel how to hunt and fly free on her own, Helen uncovers how neglected her own emotions and life have become.

A soaring adaptation of Helen Macdonald’s bestselling memoir, H is for Hawk centers on a journey of the connection between people and nature, and how it might be possible to reconcile loss through love.

“A moving account of the author’s healing process”
