Fly Away Home (1996), starred Jeff Daniels and Anna Paquin.

This movie was based around the real experiences of a Canadian inventor and microlight enthusiast, Bill Lishman. In the late '80s and early '90s he considered whether geese could be shown alternative migratory patterns if they followed microlight craft on which they had been imprinted. In 1993 after various setbacks, Lishman led a Canada Geese flock on their winter migration from Ontario in Canada to Virginia in the USA. Of the 16 birds in the flock, 13 returned the following year, completely on their own.
