Wings of Life

DocumentaryFamily81 min

Meryl Streep narrates a close-up look at the relationship between flowers and the creatures that carry their pollen, turning reproduction into an exchange of color, scent, nectar, and flight. From bees and butterflies to hummingbirds and bats, the film follows the pollinators that help wild plants reproduce and sustain a third of the world’s food supply. The focus stays on these often-overlooked species and the intricate ways they feed, travel, and keep ecosystems functioning, while also showing how threatened that balance has become.
