From the website: Mating for Life – 48.75 min. by Cindy Stillwell, Bozeman, MT.
This gentle, sensitive, observational documentary, narrated by the filmmaker, focuses on a personal pilgrimage to a refuge where one can witness the annual spring migration of Sandhill Cranes. It’s a metaphor for human transformation. ‘Mating for Life’ is a meditation on nature and art, and poses essential questions about our need for both connection and solitude. The filmmaker camps out for days in a tiny, canvas bird blind, isolated from all human contact, alone with her view of the birds and her thoughts.
