Flight Of The Butterflies 3D

What is Flight of the Butterflies in 3D? It’s a natural history epic. It’s a detective story. It took Dr. Fred Urquhart almost 40 years to discover the butterflies’ secret hideaway and a year for the award-winning production team to film the butterflies. Immerse yourself in the astounding migration experience as the butterflies migrate north from Mexico to Canada and travel back south to the incredible butterfly sanctuaries of Mexico.
