| Summary: | With breath taking close-up aerial footage, this spectacular film unravels the mysteries of bird flight. Billions of birds perish every year while migrating, dying of hunger, thirst, exhaustion and environmental poisons. Others fall victim to hunters, windmills and power lines. Predators attack them in the air and while they're sleeping. But why do birds then go through the hardships of migration year after year? How has bird migration changed over the generations?
