While I was in awe watching this truly superb documentary I felt there was really something missing: there was no explanation of the migration, no real educational content which would have left the viewer enriched. All we saw was a glimpse at the number of kilometers flown and the name of the birds. The film did not attempt to explain the extraordinary journeys these birds undertook and left me with a sense of missed opportunity, almost a real big waste: they had me captivated and transfixed for an hour, why not nourish my intellect as well as my eyes? At the very least the DVD box could have contained a booklet filling these knowledge gaps - and if someone knows of any such publication that would shed light on this movie I'd love to hear about it!
