Hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world are gathered together for the closing ceremonies of the XXIX Olympics in Beijing. The event is being broadcast all over the world as the proud athletes enter Bird Nest stadium, an architectural creation resembling a birds nest.

Bird Nest takes place over a four-day period, chronicling the day of the explosion and the resulting days of turmoil, confusion and, eventually, retribution.
