In the South African mountains lives a black eagle and a scavenger, a predator and mistress of the skies that spend their days on the rocks. The two rivals contend for the same prey and territory. When fire destroys the environment, the struggle for survival turns harder. Glorious scenery, well-matched by spectacular sequences.
Rob Harrison White was born in Kenya and grew up on a farm. He moved to South Africa when he was 18 where he studied veterinary medicine. He started filming black eagles with his first video camera in Magaliesberg. He studied cinema and sold his possessions to make the film ÏMountain RivalsÓ, in which he expresses his passion for animals and the open air as a documentary filmmaker.
