- Synopsis
- MILLION DOLLAR PIGEONS is about the passionate and ferociously competitive international pigeon masters, known as fanciers, that will do whatever it takes to win. Big bucks, sweat, tears and sleepless nights are invested into these feathered athletes, yet on race day all they can do is wait, hope and pray.
  
  This film features a diverse range of characters from the four corners of the globe. Big international million dollar pigeon races have created a new type of fancier - those who focus on breeding the best birds in the world and entering them into competitions where they can prove just that. These races are expensive to enter giving wealthy competitors a distinct advantage; however, anybody who has the guts can put their reputation on the line for a chance at glory.
  
  The film covers the most lucrative pigeon races on the planet, from the US, Thailand, China and South Africa, each event more exciting and stranger than the next. The story is led by the dramatic escapades of our fanciers but will also feature the people who are crazy enough to run these high staked events. One slip up by the race organisers could lose the trust of the pigeon fanciers and desolate their business.
