Conversations: Benjamin's epic flight
Australian Broadcasting Corporation 5/9/23 - Episode Page
Benjamin is an adventure paraglider and documentary maker. One day, while paragliding in central Mexico, he was forced to make a sudden landing in an isolated valley.
There he encountered a vast swarm of millions of monarch butterflies, carpeting the forest floor and tree trunks.
This experience led him to replicate the Herculean migration of this seemingly common butterfly.
He launched his own flight along the thermal air currents which carried him all the way from Mexico to Canada.
