The Secret Routes of Migratory Birds

Knowledge/Nature, France 2014

Not available
Every year, millions of migratory birds make the long journey across Europe. In autumn to the south and back to the north in the early spring months. But in recent years, migratory birds have become noticeably fewer, and some species are no longer seen at all. What could be keeping them from setting out on their long journey? For over 20 years, filmmaker Christian Moullec observed and studied the flight of wild geese. He became pilot of a light aircraft to accompany the bird swarm on their flight over Europe. The result is a moving and fascinating film that overcomes the limits of gravity with incredible ease and takes us on a journey that will remain unforgettable.
