1h 33m
Directed by Daniel McCabe • 2023 • United States
Part one-of-a-kind nature documentary, part science fiction, GRASSHOPPER REPUBLIC unfolds over the course of three seasons in Uganda, where a local grasshopper-trapping team stalks and captures this elusive prey by the barrelful, pushing their way into remote forests and villages in pursuit of fortune. Meanwhile, specialized cameras transport audiences into the natural world as seen from the perspective of the insects themselves. The result is a strange, beautiful, and breathtakingly immersive exploration of the delicate balance between natural ecosystems and human disruption.
