For the record, this image — taken in #Kenya's Maasai Mara Nat. Reserve some 9 yrs ago — has not been Photoshopped or AI-ed in any way. This is just as it was.

Now that it's in the Nat'l Film Registry, everyone please watch William Beaudine's SPARROWS (1926).

A teenager attempts to rescue abducted children in this harrowing silent film produced by + starring industry pioneer Mary Pickford.

The restoration is on Tubi and Hoopla w/ a lovely score. #FilmSky
Mary Pickford as a badass teen leading 9 kids out of a "baby farm" surrounded by an alligator-infested swamp.

Rain is life. In the #Amboseli region on the #Kenya #Tanzania border, where people live off the land, the #climatecrisis matters.
