From Raw Science Film Festival:

The Eagle Obsession was honored with the Raw Breakthrough Award at the 2025 Raw Science Film Festival—an achievement that marks an important moment in the film’s journey.  Director Jeffrey Morris and co-producer Denise Grika accepted the award in person at the ceremony, alongside a gathering of scientists, filmmakers and engaged audiences. The festival, held at the Florence Gould Hall in Manhattan, celebrates film and media that “humanize science and bring fact-based experts to the forefront of popular culture.” The award was given in recognition of the film’s ability to break through and reach a large demographic of people to inspire interest and curiosity about a scientific topic. The jury’s decision reflects the documentary’s extended reach—not only engaging sci-fi fans but drawing in families, educators, and general audiences.
