Tuesday, October 14th at 1:00 p.m.

You’ll journey into the extraordinary world of shorebirds—remarkable travelers that fly thousands of miles each year along ancient migratory routes known as Flyways. More than 200 species, including Far Eastern Curlews, Lesser Yellowlegs, Red Knots, and Hudsonian Godwits, migrate from feeding grounds in the Southern Hemisphere to Arctic breeding sites and back, sometimes flying for up to nine days non-stop without food or water.

But these incredible birds are now in crisis. Their populations are crashing due to climate change and rapid urban development. In this 54-minute documentary, rated TV-14, you’ll follow a passionate conservation movement of scientists and everyday bird lovers working together to understand and protect these endangered travelers. Made possible through public performance rights by Kanopy, this film invites you to witness a global effort to save some of nature’s most resilient yet vulnerable species.
