Winged Migration

It is hard to categorize Winged Migration in to Documentary or Feature Film classes, because it is both in some way or the other. All in all it is a beautiful film about the parallel world of birds. Though I knew vaguely about the concept of 'imprinting' it was this movie that showed the effect and extent of 'imprinting' on wild birds. After you watch the movie you should take it upon yourself to watch the making of the film, because without it there will too many holes in the story.

The film charters the migrations of various bird species all across the globe in a fictious one year period, although the film was shot over a period of four years with four hundred people serving as crew at all the scattered places ranging from India, Peru, United States, New Zealand, Artic and the Antartic. The camera work will leave you with your mouth open for most part of the film, it is why its essential to watch the making of the movie, lets feast on some knowledge and leave those flies out of our mouths!
