"Whirlybird" profiles transgender journalist Zoey Tur, who —  along with her then-spouse, Marika Gerrard —  pioneered helicopter news coverage in Los Angeles, covering car chases, street violence, natural disasters — and the police pursuit of OJ Simpson. Amidst all the action, filmmaker Matt Yoka creates space for self-reflection amidst a high adrenaline lifestyle that went awry.
