Whirlybird is a 2020 American documentary film by Matt Yoka.[1] It competed in the US Documentary category at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.[2]

Summary

The film explores two LA reporters, Zoey Tur and Marika Gerrard[3] who were well known for witnessing an attempted murder during the Rodney King riots, and being the first camera crew to find O.J. Simpson's white Ford bronco cruising down an LA freeway.[4] Significant portions of the film feature Zoey as Bob Tur, before she came out as transgender in 2013.[5][6][7][8]

Tur' and Gerrard's daughter, Katy Tur, is also an award-winning journalist.[9] She is also featured in the film.[10]

Release and reception

Whirlybird had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 26, 2020. It was also submitted for Oscar consideration.[11]

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, 82% of 39 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.4/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Whirlybird might have benefited from a more patient approach, but it remains a fascinating -- and often thrilling -- look at what goes into making the news."[12]
