Taiwan's master of bird documentaries, Director Chieh-Te Liang, follows his earlier works Fly, Kite, Fly, Enigma: The Chinese Crested Tern, and Caring for Black-faced Spoonbill by once again turning his lens to the most mysterious ruler of the skies above Taiwan's mountain forests: the Mountain Hawk-Eagle. Over 12 years, through countless mountain ranges and the trials of harsh weather, Director Liang has brought extraordinary patience and an unwavering gaze to his landmark film, Fly! Mountain Hawk-Eagle, a documentary about "Taiwan's most imposing raptor."
The film is exclusively sponsored by Wistron Foundation. Director Nien-jen Wu lends his voice as narrator, Golden Horse Award winner Lim Giong composes the score, and internationally acclaimed sound master Du-Chih Tu designs the soundscape, together building an immersive sensory experience layer by layer.
The film is also built around more than twenty years of research by Professor Yuan-Hsun Sun of the Institute of Wildlife Conservation at National Pingtung University of Science and Technology. Leading his team into remote cliffs and forests, and pressing on along crumbling edges and slippery mountain trails, he gradually uncovers the ecology and behavior of the Mountain Hawk-Eagle. When tension arises between conservation and culture, he teams up with craftsman Chin-nan Chung to experiment with lifelike replica feathers that respond to the cultural needs of Indigenous communities, searching for a new balance between humans and nature.
The Mountain Hawk-Eagle is the apex raptor of the food chain, and it is even said that "one Hawk-Eagle stands for a forest." Yet habitat fragmentation, environmental disturbance, and human pressure are making its survival increasingly difficult. Through this film, we see not only a raptor, but also the fate of the entire forest ecosystem and the deep, close connection between humans and nature. Wistron Foundation has long been committed to biodiversity and habitat conservation, and hopes to create greater impact through the power of film. We invite our colleagues to step into the cinema and rediscover the splendor of Taiwan's land, witness the life stories of Taiwan's raptors, and recognize that every choice we make is inextricably tied to nature.
