Flight of the Butterflies is a 2012 Canadian documentary directed by Mike Slee, produced specifically for three-dimensional IMAX screens. The production dramatizes the nearly four-decade scientific pursuit conducted by Dr. Fred Urquhart. His research mapped one of nature's longest known insect migrations: the flight of monarch butterflies traveling between Central Mexico and the United States and Canada. Starring Megan Follows and Gordon Pinsent, the film captures the investigative effort required to solve the mystery of their migratory route.
