On December 16, the channel "Mоя Планета" will present the premiere of the remarkable documentary "Eagle Eye on Dubai." This film invites viewers to experience stunning aerial views of Dubai, presenting not only the breathtaking vistas but also the captivating story behind the exclusive footage. The documentary recounts highlights from 2015, where the world was captivated by unique images of Dubai captured from the perspective of an eagle's back. The eagle was released from the top of the world's tallest skyscraper, the Burj Khalifa, creating sensational media coverage.
What sets "Eagle Eye on Dubai" apart isn't just the stunning visuals. The ambitious project was not merely intended to break records but also to raise awareness about the pressing issue of endangered species. It held special significance for the UAE government since the falcon—a close relative of the eagle—serves as the national symbol of the country.
Central to the documentary's story is Jacques-Olivier Travers, who has dedicated years to conserving wild bird populations. Travers developed unique training methods for eagles, enabling birds bred in captivity, unfamiliar with flying, to return to their natural habitats. His efforts to protect birds of prey extend beyond the UAE, where he initiates flights with equipped cameras over iconic structures like those in Paris and London, drawing public attention to the plight of these magnificent creatures.
While many conservation projects exist, the Dubaian initiative stands out as it encapsulates extraordinary interaction between humanity and the natural world. The film does not shy away from portraying the lengthy planning sessions and the hard work behind the landmark project. Viewers will learn about the months of preparations and logistics involved to safely train and equip the bird for its monumental flight.
The film will air at 20:05 on December 16 on "Mоя Планета," promising to be both visually stunning and thought-provoking. From breathtaking views over the futuristic skyline to discussions about wildlife conservation, "Eagle Eye on Dubai" combines beauty with important messages.
Prepare to witness Dubai like never before. With sweeping aerial footage and insights from experts, this documentary aims to inspire viewers to think about how they relate to wildlife, particularly as urban landscapes expand and encroach upon natural habitats. This event isn't just for bird lovers or conservationists; it’s for anyone who appreciates the elegance of nature and man-made wonders.
Don't miss your chance to experience what promises to be an unforgettable documentary premiere.
