Winged Migration: Perrin, Clauzaud, and Debats’s documentary follows several species of migratory birds. During migration, these birds fly hundreds of thousands of miles away toward the equator in the fall and return home in the spring and summer. However, these long treks are a test of survival, due to limited food, unique climates, predators, illness, and injury. Once the birds reach their new land, viewers are able to learn how these species survive in a new home after a long journey. View the trailer here.
