Four Wings and a Prayer is a visually rich, exciting feature documentary about one of the world's most beautiful and mysterious creatures: the Monarch butterfly.
Nowhere in nature is there a more powerful mix of scientific marvel, striking beauty and epic struggle for survival. The film journeys into the Monarch's secret world, visiting the spectacular places it calls home, meeting its friends and enemies — humans among both — and flying alongside it on one of the most inspiring migratory odysseys imaginable.
Four Wings and a Prayer was nominated for an Emmy in 2010 for Outstanding Nature Programming; in 2008, it earned three Gemini nominations: Best Science, Technology, Nature, Environment or Adventure Documentary Program; Best Direction in a Documentary Program; and Best Photography in a Documentary Program or Series.
