Your Backyard: The Life & Journey of the Monarch Butterfly
2012 | Documentary | Semi-Finalist

Join siblings Taylor, Samuel and Grace, along with special guest Professor Solomon on an incredible creation journey of discovery, exploring the life and journey of God’s amazing monarch butterfly. Enjoy vivid, detailed images of the 30-day transformation from egg to butterfly—from watching a tiny monarch caterpillar eat its way out of its egg to the completion of metamorphosis, when the Monarch carefully emerges from its beautifully adorned chrysalis.
Sprinkled with colorful animation, you’ll discover details of the Monarch’s incredible 3,000 mile round-trip migration journey to a place they’ve never seen, overwintering high in the Oyamel Fir Forests of Mexico.
From learning of the monarch’s very special host plant, milkweed, to meeting 87-year young creation scientist Jules Poirier (a navigation design specialist who took part in the Apollo moon missions), you’ll explore the remarkable world of the Monarch butterfly, continually looking at God’s divine order in creation.
