About
A documentary follows ornithologist Sun Yuan-hsun and his team as they study the breeding of Taiwan’s rare Mountain Hawk-Eagle.
Fly! Mountain Hawk-Eagle follows ornithologist Sun Yuan-hsun and his research team into Taiwan’s mountainous wilderness. They set out to observe and record the breeding of the Mountain Hawk-Eagle, the country’s largest and rarest bird of prey. The team works through typhoons, dense forest and difficult terrain, and watches a nesting pair raise their young.
The documentary also looks at the bird’s cultural importance for the Paiwan and Rukai peoples, for whom its feathers have long stood for honour and status. Through discussions of tradition, conservation and environmental care, it considers how Indigenous knowledge and current ecological practice can be brought together to safeguard cultural traditions and biological diversity. Wu Nien-jen narrates.
