Wings in the Wilderness

About This Movie

Wings in the Wilderness offers a fascinating glimpse into wildlife education and conservation during the 70s. The film documents a unique method for imprinting Canada geese goslings with a radio-controlled model airplane—a technique that, let’s be honest, had a certain charm about it. The pacing is steady, allowing viewers to appreciate the intricacies of nature and the painstaking efforts of the trainer. The atmosphere is immersive, especially when you see the world from the geese's perspective through camera angles that bring you right into their flight. It’s a distinct blend of hands-on training and natural behavior, highlighting the bond between humans and wildlife in a rather innovative way.

Wings in the Wilderness has seen a variety of formats over the years, but it's known to be somewhat scarce in its original releases. Collectors might find the earlier VHS editions particularly intriguing due to their vintage feel and the film's unique subject matter. The documentary's niche appeal to nature enthusiasts and those interested in animal training techniques makes it a noteworthy item for specialized collections.
