  Based on a true story of wildlife artist and 
naturalist, Joe Hutto, this beautiful, charming,
funny, sad, and thought-provoking film explores 
one of those rare moments when man and animal 
unwittingly become more closely linked than 
nature normally allows. It had long been Joe’s 
hope to learn about the secret world of wild 
turkeys and upon finding 16 turkey eggs on his 
doorstep one day, Joe was determined to become 
their mother, by having the newly born chicks 
“imprint” on him. It was a role he had to learn 
from scratch and an experience that would change 
his life in ways he could not have imagined. The 
journal that Hutto kept of his life as a turkey 
ultimately became a book, entitled “Illumination 
of the Flatwoods.” His story is reenacted in this film in full, as he lived it.

   * Showings are continuous every 50 minutes from 11am-2pm.

Join us every month for compelling, educational 
and visually stunning nature documentaries that 
inspire appreciation, curiosity and stewardship 
of our natural world and its inhabitants.
