An Oscar-nominated nature documentary that offers a truly bird’s eye view of life. Shot over several years, the film follows the paths of migrating birds all over the globe, from the Arctic to the Antarctic and all points in between. The director used light aircraft and even hot air balloons to capture some of the aerial shots - with the film that results revealing how hard life can be for the birds, with predators (both human and animal), bad weather and other perils to contend with. But it also provides a beautiful, awe-inspiring look into a world that we would otherwise never get to see.

Winged Migration is a film all about birds. I thought this film was very dull but if you are interested in birds and nature this is the film for you. It tells you lots of information on each different bird. I did find out about some weird and interesting birds. This film will help you learn more about birds.

JUST JOKING, I would never rate this film a 5 stars. If you are a bird watcher or interested in birds then I would personally recomend it but you have to pay a lot of attention (according to me). If you are looking for a good film that you can laugh about and just want to be a couch potato then I would not head in the direction of Winged Migration!
Fascinating facts
Some of the birds that appear in Winged Migration were raised in breeding colonies where the director could get the eggs and chicks used to the sight and sound of his cameras and other machinery.
