Guy 01/08/2023 What an excellent film! A soul stirring documentary about the power of the human heart to heal from deep trauma through a loving connection with both animals and humans. Yet, at the same time, it shows our own limitations in our ability o heal others. Any one who has known the joy of a strong loving connection with creatures other than ourselves will be moved to the core of their own experience.

PTSD AND DEPRESSION WELL REPRESENTED. Great Story. Yea See more Amy T @RT54477808 Jul 17 Took me through all motions. It crushed my hart and made my soul cry for him, for the animals, for all places on Earth filled with wonders, but held under human terror! Poachers with ice in harts, moneygulping entrepreneurs just seeing $, not beauty. It’s a deep - if you have any kind of depth perception at all! - story that should take you into reflection over your own possibilities to help preserving and restoring the Earth instead of destroying. We are ALL part guilty for how the world has come to look today. Those who says “it’s just another sweet story” are cold, blind jerks! See more Daniela T @RT94217956 01/19/2024 Really moving.

This is a film that you are not going to want to miss. Struggling with depression and PTSD as a result from his time spent as a British soldier in Afghanistan, young Harry Turner attempts to escape his world in order to restore peace to his troubled life. That escape lands him deep within the Peruvian Amazon where he teams up with American scientist Samantha Zwicker, and together they work diligently to save injured and orphaned wildlife at Hoja Nueva Rehabilitation Center. The film focuses mainly on the duo's efforts to rehabilitate and "re-wild" orphaned ocelots, and their work seems to put purpose back into their lives. Harry continues with his mental struggles throughout the film and, although his efforts at Hoja Nueva are helping him overcome these challenges, the film highlights for us that these struggles may never truly be defeated. There is so much to love and appreciate in Wildcat. The cinematography is terrific as it takes us to one of the most remote and biodiverse places on our globe, allowing viewers to get close up views of some incredible species of animals. The story demonstrates that beauty can indeed be woven into the lives of those who have dark days. And since I absolutely love cats and our family has been involved in cat rescue for many decades, I commend Harry and Samantha for their efforts in wildcat conservation and highlighting for us how difficult yet rewarding this line of work can be. Wildcat is a true masterpiece. There are so many important thoughts to take with you after watching the film, and yet the film's most important message is about hope and courage. Mental illness is a life threatening disease, but, with some hope and a whole lot of courage, someone suffering from this condition can learn to cope with their disorder. There is certainly also the message about the importance of conservation and the willingness to volunteer in order to protect and restore our fragile ecosystems. We need more wildlife warriors and this film just may be a call to action for those conservation minded people. Parents need to be aware of some adult language throughout the film and at times some of the scenes display some very dark moments for Harry. I give Wildcat 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18. Adults will also absolutely love this film. By Dominic D., KIDS FIRST!

This is how a documentary should be. See more Read all reviews
