Cranes are magnificent birds whose elegance and grace have inspired humans for millennia, symbolizing our highest values of love, peace and longevity. They predate humans by tens of millions of years, but in the last 50 years, they have become the most endangered family of birds on the planet, with several species on the brink of extinction.

But just as humankind has nearly driven these majestic creatures from the face of the Earth, so too are humans at the forefront of saving them. And none more so than Nova Scotian septuagenarian George Archibald, who has dedicated his life to protecting and preserving all 15 species of Cranes around the world, through the International Crane Foundation. Dance With Cranes will follow George and his international team as they strive to come up with creative solutions to how humans and Cranes can continue to co-exist, before it’s too late.
