In The Eye of The Wind (1996)

About

Another hard-to-find documentary narrated by Sir David Attenborough; only one other copy seemed available online, and this new encode should be a significant upgrade over that one. This one is from 1996 and focuses on wildfowl conservation and migration patterns—very interesting as usual. It was transferred from VHS using VHS-Decode, de-interlaced, color-tweaked, lightly de-noised, and a brand new set of subtitles were generated and added. Additionally, I will now specify the source of my VHS-Decode transfer by adding 'VHSRF' to the filename instead of just 'VHS,' to help differentiate them from my previous conventional tape transfers.

Sunset in Scotland, the sky fills with Wild geese and hills echo to their calls. In Iceland a swan leaves the safety of her summer home, leading her family on the most dangerous journey of their young lives.

Across the Northern world a great migration is underway. The aerial invasion of Britain has begun.

This unique BBC video captures an eventful year in the lives of some beautiful creatures and determined people. It is a stunning portrayal that is both a tribute to a remarkable man and a celebration of an incredible wild world. More than just a documentary, it is a revelation, a moving and surprising story that spans half the planet from Slimbridge, even into space.

Set against some of the most dramatic scenery on earth, from the volcanoes of Hawaii to Arctic Russia, this film captures the extraordinary life of The Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust as they celebrate their 50th anniversary.

Narrated by Sir David Attenborough Written and Produced by Andrew Cooper
