Pigeon racing has been a sport since 1150 A.D.

It's amazing that in the inner city of Baltimore, Maryland this is still a big sport. Meet some of the people who are keeping the sport alive, see why they do it, and how they do it.

  • Great work! I love the concept of pigeons in the city and trying to dispel their bad rep. It's also really interesting to see why/how people get into this obscure yet traditional sport.

  • Of all the urban activities never would I have thought of pigeon racing...I only wish that the video were much longer! Now I have many questions and thirst for more!

  • Wicked cool. Gangs, prison, family values, pigeons--what a great combo! Shows to go ya that people can always get back in touch with what matters to them - family, nurturing and a dose of healthy competition. Awesome job with the whole shabang!

  • Brilliant, topicwise it has Ghost Dog writen all over it, indeed.

    Seems like you were able to find quite some characters, might be interesting to see a longer feature even, with more indepth stories on their lives, and the place the pigeon racing takes in that.

    Keep up the good work!

  • Loved the film. Didn't know these races were going on in Baltimore City. Keep up the good work.....

  • This was so informative! I had no idea that there was such an organized competition going on like this. It really looks fun and interesting. How amazing it is that they can find their way back to the nest like that!!!!! Wow!

    It was so nice to see such a positive and uplifting story. Thank you!

  • The film maker has a rich pedigree--like the pigeons we saw. Good exposure to a way of coping that seemingly mostly men have found rewarding. Unlike children, these progeny come back. Maybe one effective way to resocialize young men/boys who, as we say in England, 'were dragged up, not brought up' !

  • Great pod! Very insightful story woven together in a nice fashion. I had no idea folks were still racing pigeons…and doing so with such great passion!
    Loved this one!

  • Solid piece of editing, interviews, and theme. I was very impressed. It reveals a side to our global community that works with the environment. Its all tied together. Good work. Next time that I am in Baltimore, I am going to be looking to the skies.

  • Very interesting story. My grandfather in China, years ago was a pigeon racer. I didn't know it was happening here in the states.

    The editor did a great job telling this story!
