7. It captures the stunningly vibrant flamingos of Ras Al Khor
Despite an overwhelmingly sandy and muted colour palette throughout the documentary, there’s a bright splash of pink when the filmmakers pan to the little-known wetland of Ras Al Khor. There, a flamboyance of flamingoes show off their beautiful feathering. An interesting fact from the film: these birds gain their vibrant hue from what they eat, such as algae and shrimp. That’s why the younger flamingoes, who haven’t been on the flamingo diet for long, are a more lackluster white-and-grey.
