Millions of Monarch Butterflies and One Filmmaker's Personal Journey PRNewswire
go to original April 30, 2013

A new project has launched on arts fund site, but this isn't just any project, it's a lifetime dream of one individual on her own personal journey.

Every year, millions of Monarch butterflies migrate from Canada to one region in Mexico. These delicate creatures fly over 4,000 miles over two months. They cross the Great Lakes, they weather storms and they pass cities, towns and countryside.

Every year without fail the Monarchs arrive in one part of Mexico at the beginning of November - which happens to be near their holiday of the Day of the Dead. Mexicans believe the butterflies are the souls of their loved ones, coming back to visit them.

Now a London based Mexican-American filmmaker, Ali Alvarez, wants to tell this story linking the phenomenon of nature to a personal, spiritual event. Entitled The Journey, the documentary film will tell the story of the monarch butterflies and the people they pass at times of tragedy on their epic migration south to Mexico.

... It is this story and Ali's own personal journey that has led to her launching her project on Kickstarter, a not-for-profit organization that helps individuals bring creative projects to life through a funding platform and a community of backers.
