Loons: A Cry From The Mist
LOONS: A CRY FROM THE MIST deploys a team of world-renowned cinematographers to reveal the secret lives of loons. Rare footage captures them underwater, in flight, tending nests, fending off eagle attacks and engaging in fierce territorial battles with fellow loons. Over the course of a breeding season, we witness their daily efforts to raise their chicks from tiny fluff balls into full-sized young adults. Through our two loon families, we see the perils of loon survival up close. As the seasons shift from spring to summer to fall, and we come to understand the stakes, viewers will be rooting for the little chicks they’ve watched grow, hoping beyond hope that they develop into healthy young adults, strong enough to take flight and soar.
