About this movie

In a remote and forgotten wilderness, one of nature's last great mysteries unfolds: the birth, life and death of a million crimson-winged flamingos. Against a dramatic backdrop of never-before filmed landscapes, these secretive birds struggle to survive and prevail over danger and fate. This inspiring story, set in the extraordinary 'otherworld' of Lake Natron in northern Tanzania, the cradle of humankind, reminds us: here on earth is a universe waiting to be discovered.

Ratings and reviews

Pretty average camerawork, many shots were unstable or jittery. Would have expected better quality form Disney. The pacing was erratic and there were several shots and scenes that went on far too long. The narration tries to be too poetic and detracts from the film. The music was good although felt disconnected from the picture at times. On the plus side the flamingo chicks sound like someone cleaning a glass window, which provided the most entertaining part of this otherwise very average nature film.

Yup yup yo up up up
