"Earth" is an awesome movie abt an awesome planet... just unbelievable the scale in which life happens on this planet... And of course, they have shown it really well.. If you have not watched the BBC series "Planet Earth" - this is just right for ya!
The movie captures the life and travels (travails) of three families - a polar bear and its two cubs, an African elephant and its baby, a humpback whale and its kid... (Just thought abt this now.. all single moms!).. Not just these three but so many different species on earth migrate covering thousands of miles across earth and back... Is a really staggering effort against the vagaries of nature: climate and seasons...
Anyways.. catch here the trailer of Earth on their official site..

Migration is an interesting concept in animals.. its amazing how they remember the route without a GPS or compass!! For humans, migration is primarily for economic and intellectual reasons now... May be, we will need to start migrating as a way of life... if our ability to insulate ourselves from the effect of climate is bulldozed by our destruction of the equilibrium on this (now) green planet.
