Synopsis

They ruled the night before we learned to fear the dark. They survived the asteroid that ended the dinosaurs. They conquered silence itself, engineering flight so acoustically perfect it defies physics. And somehow, against everything we have built in their world, they are still here. Gliding over frozen rivers. Hunting the Sonoran dark on wings that make no sound. Watching us from the boreal shadows with amber eyes that have been reading this landscape for millennia.

The Art of Being an Owl travels from the vanishing forests of Sweden to the American Southwest, from the wild Rocky Mountain West to the ancient woodlands of Britain, into the secret world of Earth’s most extraordinary predator. Using thermal cameras, intimate 4K nest cams, and breathtaking high-speed flight footage, we reveal behaviors and moments never before captured on film. Sixty-five million years of evolution. Finally seen.
