About the documentary
In 2016, I travelled the world to spot as many birds as possible in the span of one year, with the goal to break the world record bird watching. To put things in perspective; there are currently about 11000 officially recognized species which means that I observed almost two thirds of all the bird species in the world in just a single year
Arjan’s Big Year premiered in October 2017 at the Wildlife Film Festival Rotterdam. The documentary was nominated for the Best Newcomer Award and won the Public’s Choice Award. Subsequently Arjan’s Big Year showed in 18 cinemas throughout the Netherlands and had its television premier December 14th, 2019 on NPO2. Now you can watch the documentary on Netflix!
