The peregrine falcon is the fastest animal on earth, able to reach speeds of more than 200mph. But what does it take to be a high-speed record-breaker? This documentary follows a young family of falcons as they grow up in Chicago. It also meets renowned bird handler Lloyd Buck as he puts his peregrines to the test, using state-of-the-art technology. He also trains one young peregrine for the ultimate challenge of speed and agility, racing an Olympic skier in the Swiss Alps
