OPEN THROAT

''I''ve never eaten a person but today I might . . .''

In the Hollywood hills, a mountain lion is struggling to survive. Isolated and afraid in a place devastated by drought, the lion''s endless hunger begins to get to him. As the land aroun
d him continues to decay, he begins to fantasize about killing the hikers who pass him by day after day.

As it protects the precarious welfare of a nearby homeless encampment from its thicket, it confronts a carousel of temptations and threa
ts, taking us on a tour that spans the city''s cruel inequalities to the toll of climate grief, all while grappling with the complexities of its own gender identity and memories of a vicious, absent father.

Open Throat is a stinging, moving
and intimate look at the impact the climate crisis has on animals and our environment. There are moving and laugh-out-loud moments, but ultimately this poignant narrative voice forces you to reckon with our dying planet.
