Flyways: The Untold Journey of Migratory Shorebirds

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.
