Comments: One of the best. Great score. Great drama. Great story. Glade pride, small but wise—Baobab pride, more than 30 strong hunters—Njaa pride, ferocious, power-hungry drifters

First of all, Sarah Class’s score elevates this far above an ordinary Big Cat Doc. It’s obvious she wrote most, if not all, of it FOR the film, and didn’t just submit generic mood snippits

Second, Owen Prumm’s photography has a warmth, a filmish quality, we don’t often see in such docs

Bray Poor’s narration is a bit dramatic but at least there’s not too much of it.
