A flock of pigeons flying in the sky during daytime with large white text overlay that reads 'PIGEON RELIGION'.

Descend into the world of New York City’s pigeon people and see how this community reshapes our understanding of the city’s most ubiquitous bird.

Pigeon Religion follows eight New Yorkers whose lives revolve around a bird the city has long overlooked. Among an estimated five million pigeons, these caretakers, hustlers, and flyers have spent years turning birds into athletes, muses, and spiritual lifelines. Through their parallel stories, the film confronts the high-stakes drama of the auction floor, the financial risks of devotion, and the quiet defiance of finding beauty in what the world considers trash.
