Filmed a few months before the 2004 presidential election, On the Road with Mary is a gripping view of an America living in fear.

Although migrations are undertaken as a community, birds disperse into family units once they reach their destinations, and every continent is affected by these migrations, hosting migratory bird species at least part of the year.
