| Synopsis |
|
|
|
An Osprey Homecoming is a stunning tribute to the
love and determination of a group of people committed to restoring
the osprey, a species that once teetered on the brink of extinction,
to southern Michigan. The documentary centers around the touching
story of "C09", a young male osprey released during the Osprey
Reintroduction Program of Southern Michigan at Kensington
Metropark.
After surviving three perilous years in South America C09
has come home to Kensington to the hustle and bustle of Detroit's
busy suburbs. The Program Team is overjoyed to see that one
of their birds made it back, but there is a problem. C09 and
his female companion have chosen a nest site that is far from
ideal and, not only jeopardizes what could be a milestone
for Michigan's ospreys, but threatens to halt the program
itself. |
| While the team cheers for C09 and
his family's survival, the birds struggle with the day-to-day
challenges of living in an increasingly inhospitable world.
Spectacular footage of osprey nest life, dramatic hunting sequences
and exciting chase scenes thrill the viewer with nature's amazing
beauty and often cold-hearted ethics. Cleverly interwoven
with facts, outstanding wildlife footage and subtle subplots,
An Osprey Homecoming is a beautiful and compelling story
that emphasizes the interconnection of all living things and
the delicate balance that exists between humanity and nature. |
