Meet Rupert, a crazy black Australian swan who roamed free in Newport Beach, CA for nearly 20 years. During his reign of Newport Harbor, Rupert made many friends and played many pranks. But tragedy struck in 2006. His death made newspaper headlines and the evening news. Hundreds of people attended his funeral - a burial at sea.

Rupert comes back to life in this funny and touching documentary from filmmaker Phoebe Shackeroff. From paddlers to patrolmen, sailors to swimmers, everyone has a Rupert story to tell.

Swans are freshwater birds, but Rupert was salty.

You'll laugh. You'll cry. He'll hiss.
