Even if you are not a bird watcher, the magnificent film footage will take your breath away. Using motorized gliders, you will view the world as the birds do and fly with them as they migrate south for the winter. The cameras take you through all four seasons with various kinds of birds as they follow their instincts through all kinds of tough weather and situations. Although the film could've been used for social commentary, I think you will find that the filmmakers' choice to provide the viewer with an objective bird's eye view was both appropriate and tasteful. All you need to do is sit back, enjoy and imagine that you are 'just one of the birds'! The stunning views of the landscape alone make this a must-see film. I highly recommend the "making of" extended DVD version to get a first-hand look at the special relationship that developed between the crew and the birds.
