Watch: Le peuple migrateur 2001 123movies, Full Movie Online – This documentary follows several species of migratory birds over a four year filming period. These birds travel several hundreds if not thousands of miles toward the equator in the autumn, and make the return journey to their higher latitude summer homes in the spring, always taking the same route, using the natural compasses of the universe, the stars, to find their way. Some species, like the arctic tern, even fly from pole to pole. These long and often torturous treks are a matter of survival, to live in a hospitable climate and find sources of food. With the exception of migratory penguins, travel over oceans is especially difficult as the birds have little refuge unless there is something floating on the water, such as a ship, on which to land. Otherwise they must continue flying until they reach land. Some will not survive the migration due to predators, including man, illness or injury. Although the migrations themselves are done as a community, once the birds reach their respective summer and winter homes, they disperse into family units. And every continent is affected by the migration as every continent is home, at least part of year, to a species of migratory bird..
Plot: The cameras of Jacques Perrin fly with migratory birds: geese, storks, cranes. The film begins with spring in North America and the migration to the Arctic; the flight is a community event for each species. Once in the Arctic, it’s family time: courtship, nests, eggs, fledglings, and first flight. Chicks must soon fly south. Bad weather, hunters, and pollution take their toll. Then, the cameras go

Too Much Squawking Too Little Talking ***Spoilers***
I saw the previews for Winged Migration and was blown away on the spot. The photography and camera work were beyond imagination. There you were, actually a member of a flock of geese flying over the land. You were so close to the geese you could look them right in the eye and watch the wind ruffle their feathers. Wow, I thought, this is going to be one kick-ass nature documentary.Wrong. What you saw in the trailer is pretty much all there is in the movie; except multiplied ten-fold. Flying, flying, flying. And what about the narrative? Does the viewer learn anything about bird behavior? Bird biology? Field science? Nope. Just some lame facts about the distances various bird species migrate. The few times we’re treated to a closer examination into the lives of birds, the approach taken by the filmmakers seems a little disturbing. Are the producers manufacturing the events we see? The parrot escaping from the poacher’s cage is definitely staged. So what about the bird being devoured alive by crabs, or the goose suffocating in industrial sludge? Were no animals harmed?
Anyway, the Discovery Channel does a much better job at documentaries; maybe the photographers should go work for them.
