About the Movie:


Flight of the Butterflies in 3D is an 
interconnected scientific adventure story that spans not only thousands 
of miles, but generations. It’s about the remarkable Monarch butterfly migration, the most incredible migration on Earth, and the determined scientist who spent 40 years trying to 
discover exactly where the butterflies mysteriously disappeared when 
they flew south for winter.

Dr. Fred Urquhart is the man obsessed with Monarchs. The obsession started in his youth, when he began to wonder where the 
butterflies spent the winter months. His passion became his profession 
as he went on to become a zoologist/biologist, teacher and university 
professor. Along with his wife Norah, he founded the Insect Migration 
Association, enlisting thousands of volunteers across North America to 
tag hundreds of thousands of butterflies to track their migration route. This association ultimately helped Dr. Urquhart discover, in 1975, that millions of butterflies migrated to the remote Transvolcanic Belt of central Mexico.

Danaus plexippus or Dana for short, is the Monarch 
we follow on her perilous journey from Mexico to Canada, along with her 
daughter, granddaughter and great granddaughter. The outstanding fourth, or “Super Generation” of butterflies travels more than 2,000 km south, 
all the way from the northern United States and southern Canada to 
Mexico, overwinters and makes one final short trip to the southern 
United States to lay eggs. Then, the cycle begins again. It is one incredible trip you won’t want to miss.
