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.

WKAR has closed the gap left by the loss of federal funding. Because of you, trusted journalism, inspiring stories, and classical music remain freely available to everyone in mid-Michigan.
Now the work continues — your monthly gift helps maintain this success and keeps public media free for all.
