Stuffed
Through the eyes and hands of passionate, renowned artists across the world, discover the diverse subculture of taxidermy, where sculptors must also be scientists. It is a genre of art, formed by a collection of people who have a fanaticism for nature matched by their desire to protect it. They love animals and see life where others only see death. In an unexpected twist, the film reveals the importance of preserving nature, using taxidermy as its unlikely vehicle and the taxidermist as its wild driver.
