A Bold Experiment (2020): Cast

In 1997, conservationist J. David Bamberger began construction on the world's first man-made bat cave, an ambitious project that quickly garnered international media attention. Newspapers from New York to Berlin reported on the unusual endeavor, with one headline playfully labeling Bamberger as "going batty." Four years after its completion, the cave remained unoccupied, leading a San Antonio journalist to investigate. When the reporter prepared a story about "Bamberger’s Folly," Bamberger himself witnessed a remarkable sight: ten thousand bats emerging from the cave, proving the project’s unexpected success.
