The Leader(1978)

The Leader is a short film that follows the head of a goose flock as he reflects on humanity's cruelty toward his kind. Through his perspective, the narrative explores a nuanced view of people—acknowledging that while many are unkind, not all humans share the same capacity for harm. The film uses the geese's experience to examine themes of prejudice and generalization, questioning whether it's fair to judge an entire species by the actions of some. With a contemplative tone, The Leader offers a gentle yet pointed commentary on how we treat animals and the assumptions we make about those different from ourselves.
