Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlthough dutybound to simply record what they were witnessing, occasionally the filmmakers would intervene and chip off some of the huge salt deposits that were amassing around some of the chicks' ankles. The salt stops the babies from being able to walk and, without help, they will ultimately die alone on the salt flats.
Featured review
The Flamingos Of Lake Natron
For me, Crimson Wing was a somewhat sad and tragic story that showed me very clearly what hardships the flamingos had to go through in order to preserve their species.
Filmed almost entirely at Lake Natron in Tanzania, not only did the adult flamingos have to protect their new-born chicks from such ravenous beasts as the mongoose, but the vast salt deposits that accumulate around Lake Natron posed an equally treacherous threat for the survival of the struggling young, as well.
Crimson Wing was a "Disney-Nature" presentation. Not only was it impressively photographed and its narration by Mariella Frostrup informative, but its musical score by Le Cinematic Orchestra set the mood of this documentary's story very nicely.
Yes. I certainly do recommend Crimson Wing to all who are curious about the diversity of the natural world that exists in abundance all across this planet we call "ours'.
