Flyways
Synopsis: There are few creatures on earth more inspiring, more symbolic than birds. Each year, millions of shorebirds follow ancient flyways moving from the south of the planet to the north and back again. Like a rising and falling breath, the earth supports this mass movement of life. Yet many of us know little about them. Shorebirds remain an untold story.
What routes do the birds take?
How do they navigate such mind-boggling distances?
How are they able to stay aloft for days without stopping to refuel?
Seeking to answer these and other questions, the film revels in the beauty and wonder of migratory shorebirds. Facing the obstacles of ever-expanding human development, the birds are in serious decline.
Our film offers hope for the future - for both the birds and ourselves.
Discussion: Penny Walsh who is the secretary and bird coordinator of Wingecarrigee WIRES and will join us to answer any questions you may have. Penny brings with her a vast amount of knowledge on animal care, rescue and rehabilitation bringing into the event an important local element on our native species.
We hope to see you at our screening on Wednesday 23 October at 6.00 pm. Click here to book.
