Golden Eagle: Call of the Wild

Soaring between rugged peaks and yawning valleys, a golden eagle chick begins life in the high Alps. Filmmaker Otmar Penker captures breathtaking aerials and intimate moments as the young bird learns to fly, hunt, and survive its first season alone.

We continue the eagle’s journey as it’s forced to survive alone after its mother disappears. Facing rival raptors, daring hunts, and alpine extremes, the young bird must find its place in the wild—or risk becoming one of many that don’t survive their first year.
