Wildcat

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.
