Synopsis: A film about bats, their struggle to survive, and the humans who help them. Against the backdrop of a global pandemic and the sixth mass extinction, filmmaker Kristin Tièche explores the crucial roles that bats play in our shared environment, and how a team of women bat biologists set out to save a North American bat species from a deadly fungal disease called white-nose syndrome to create a better future for both bats and humans.

The Invisible Mammal is a feature-length documentary film about bats, infectious disease, and women in science. The film follows Project Fat Bat, a potential solution to help rebuild healthy bat populations across North America.

At once a nature film, a science film, and a character-driven adventure film, The Invisible Mammal will immerse you in the world of bats and forever change the way you feel about these amazing little creatures.
