The inspiring story of a young veteran on his journey into the Amazon. Once there, he meets a young woman running a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre, and his life finds new meaning as he is entrusted with the life of an orphaned baby ocelot. What was meant to be an attempt to escape from life, turns out to be an unexpected journey of love, discovery, and healing
A nature film that’s more about humans than animals, this feature documentary follows British ex-soldier Harry Turner as he lives a new life in the Amazon Rainforest, having been discharged from the Army with depression and PTSD. We see him transformed, or at least inspired and comforted, by his relationship with American conservationist Sam, and in particular by their fostering of a baby ocelot, whose struggles to be ready for release into the wild can be seen as mirroring Harry’s effort to regain his own mental health. The result is a stark picture of the internal struggles undergone by many veterans, but with beautiful notes of hope.
