This documentary follows several species of migratory birds over a four year filming period. These birds travel several hundreds if not thousands of miles toward the equator in the autumn, and make the return journey to their higher latitude summer homes in the spring, always taking the same route, using the natural compasses of the universe, the stars, to find their way.

Full Plot Details

This documentary follows several species of migratory birds over a four year filming period. These birds travel several hundreds if not thousands of miles toward the equator in the autumn, and make the return journey to their higher latitude summer homes in the spring, always taking the same route, using the natural compasses of the universe, the stars, to find their way. Some species, like the arctic tern, even fly from pole to pole. These long and often torturous treks are a matter of survival, to live in a hospitable climate and find sources of food. With the exception of migratory penguins, travel over oceans is especially difficult as the birds have little refuge unless there is something floating on the water, such as a ship, on which to land. Otherwise they must continue flying until they reach land. Some will not survive the migration due to predators, including man, illness or injury. Although the migrations themselves are done as a community, once the birds reach their respective summer and winter homes, they disperse into family units. And every continent is affected by the migration as every continent is home, at least part of year, to a species of migratory bird.

Deseret News (Salt Lake City) - 10/10 by Jeff ViceThe most engrossing documentary of its type since 1996's insect feature MicroCosmos.
New York Observer - 10/10 by Andrew SarrisA beautiful spectacle that makes one think of God and Darwin in the same breath.
L.A. Weekly - 10/10 by John PowersAstonishing both for the beauty of the birds and for its sheer technical brilliance.
San Francisco Examiner - 10/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonPerrin doesn't express any particular personal passion with this film other than 'birds are pretty.'
Premiere Magazine - 10/10 by Addison MacDonaldBy the end of the film, one begins to recognize specific birds, rooting for their safe returns and saddened by some of their failures.
San Francisco Chronicle - 10/10 by Mick LaSalleStays in the mind, changing the way we look at the world.
Cinerina - 10/10 by Karina MontgomeryIt's a cliche to say, but you literally will not believe your eyes as you stare agape at what no human should ever be able to see.
Kalamazoo Gazette - 10/10 by James Sanfordan amazing technical achievement, as the cameras get so close to the birds you would almost swear you could reach out and touch their feathers.
Window to the Movies - 10/10 by Jeffrey ChenThe movie is, in three words, beautiful beautiful beautiful.
Montreal Film Journal - 10/10 by Kevin N. LaforestThere are no words to describe the poetic beauty of this film.
