FLIGHT OF THE BUTTERFLIES SOARS ONTO THE IMAX® SCREEN AT FERNBANK MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY

Epic New Giant Screen Adventure Captures One of the Longest Migrations on Earth and the Inspiring True Story of One Scientist’s Stunning Discovery


Flight of the Butterflies, a breathtaking new giant screen adventure from SK Films, is flying into the IMAX® Theatre at Fernbank Museum of Natural History on January 4, 2013

Based on a remarkable true story, the epic film immerses audiences in a triumphant journey of perseverance that spans thousands of miles and several generations – tracking real monarch butterflies to their mysterious Mexican winter haven, where audiences will discover a truly spectacular sight:  hundreds of millions of live butterflies in one of the most amazing places on Earth.

Flight of the Butterflies is the awe-inspiring story of two unlikely heroes that share a common strength. Based on true events, it follows the epic journey of the iconic monarch butterfly in one of the most incredible migrations on Earth, and the determined scientist, Dr. Fred Urquhart, who spent 40 years trying to discover the mysteries surrounding their journey and secret winter hideaway.

In 2008, UNESCO declared the monarch butterfly reserve in Mexico a World Heritage Site. Monarch butterflies depend on milkweed and milkweed habitats for survival. Despite efforts by the Mexican government to protect the sanctuaries, enforcement is difficult in remote regions and several forces persist in threatening the survival of the monarch butterfly migration, including degradations of forest habitats, the side effects of industrial farming and climate change.

SK Films will donate significant portions of the film’s box office revenue toward Monarch butterfly conservation through Mexico’s leading conservation organization, Fondo Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza.
