Nature: My Life as a Turkey - 10 stars out of 10

Nature: My Life as a Turkey - 10 stars out of 10

“My Life as a Turkey” is an incredibly unexpected surprise.  What sounds like a five-dollar bin Halloween-themed film is actually a touching story about a man who gets to experience nature from the other side.  His journey begins as he watches over several turkey eggs until they hatch and then establishes himself as the “mother-figure” to these turkey.  The main character is just as surprised as us when all of nature opens a hidden door to him as it views him as another bird.  The story will certainly create a new appreciation for these creatures and change your perspective of Thanksgiving.  Outside of the unique story, the film is a masterpiece of cinematography.  There are so many beautiful and fascinating shots that will make you say “How on earth did they do that?”  This series from PBS always impresses with its visionary approach to nature, but this one is truly a vision.  From its story to its cinematographic exploration of nature, the Emmy-winning “My Life as a Turkey” is a must-see.
