This Wednesday, April 22, in celebration of Earth Day, Winged Migration will be shown at the Franklin Park Performing and Visual Arts Center.
Details and directions can be found on their site. The event is free and starts at 7pm.
Winged Migration is an amazing film that employed revolutionary filming techniques using helicopters, balloons and gliders to truly get that bird’s eye view. It tells the story of migration and demonstrates the interconnectedness of our world through our avian friends, and nicely conveys our responsibility as stewards of their habitat.
With the bird migration fully underway now, new species arriving daily and some winter birds leaving us, this is a perfect time to enjoy the visual journey that this film provides. It’s perfect for the whole family. A wonderful soundtrack accompanies it.
From the opening song:
Across the oceans,
Across the seas.
Over forests of the blackened trees.
Through valleys so still we dare not breathe. To be by your side.
