The Eagle with the Sunlit Eye

Sponsored by:
Montana State University School of Film and Photography
The white-tailed eagle is one of the largest birds of prey on the planet. Humans have long struck an uneasy relationship with this apex predator, persecuting it almost to extinction in Britain a century ago. The 1970s saw it brought back to our wild edges, but the return of this raptor sparked controversy, as accusations of livestock killings quickly surfaced from Scotland’s rural community. Pulling back the curtain on the reintroduction process, combining breathtaking visuals with heart-stopping action, this epic documentary ultimately asks--will we ever learn to live alongside the eagle with the sunlit eye? And what will we lose if we can’t?
