In September 2016 I set off to the island of Cyprus, where every autumn the largest massacre of songbirds in Europe takes place. Caught in mist nets and branches covered in glue, their fragile throats slit, bodies boiled and pickled, to be served on the island as an expensive delicacy known as Ambelopoulia. My plan? To join a group of environmental activists that go by the name of CABS, who have been fighting for a decade to put an end to this practice. (Ekotopfilm)
