To Free an Eagle
Narrated by ANTHONY VALENTINE
The monkey-eating eagle of the Philippines is one of the most rare and powerful birds of prey in the world.
It inhabits the remotest jungles and has never been filmed before. In a two-year expedition a small team of Americans called FREE (Films and Research for an Endangered Environment), found eagles' nests and made a remarkable film as part of an effort to save this spectacular bird, which, as it turned out, was wrongly named!
