Earthflight - Flying High

Colorful macaw flying over water

Sun. June 1 -  8:00pm - WKAR-HD | A bird's-eye view of six continents, observing animal migrations and the world's natural wonders.

Take a breathtaking voyage with the world's birds, soaring across continents, witnessing spectacular animal migrations and great natural wonders, swooping down to interact with life-and-death dramas on land and at sea. This miniseries employs state-of-the-art technology and sophisticated camera techniques to show the world from the amazing aerial perspective of a bird's-eye view.

Flying High shows how the series was made, including the relationships that formed between people and birds. Also: the use of microlights, paragliders, drones and camera-carrying birds.

Together we’ve already reduced WKAR’s $1.6 million budget gap created by the loss of federal funding. With your sustaining support we can close the remaining $500,000 gap and keep trusted public media strong for mid-Michigan. The best way to support WKAR is to become a sustainer. Already a sustainer?
