SYNOPSIS

The Invisible Mammal reveals the secret lives of bats, combining stunning wildlife cinematography and cutting-edge science to uncover how these misunderstood creatures are essential to ecosystems, agriculture, and human survival.

The Invisible Mammal tells the captivating story of a dedicated team as they strive to protect North America’s bats against a deadly disease rapidly spreading across the continent.

In this intensely cinematic film, bats are rendered poetically visible: spectacularly streaming out of caves or bridges, or cradled in a gloved hand, wings extended.

This film follows Project Fat Bat, a potential solution to help rebuild healthy bat populations across North America. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic, attributed to a bat species in China, their work gets interrupted, but their commitment never wavers.

The race to save bats is on.

When audiences get immersed in a film, they feel it viscerally and emotionally, and something inside moves and changes them. Therefore, it is crucial to continue to tell stories that could change our historical narrative, save a species, protect a wildlife habitat, and make visible someone or something that deserves to be in the limelight, just like the bats and the women scientists featured in this film.
