Comments: Beautifully filmed --at least the parts showing the leopard. But a third of this film focuses on the people making it, doing yoga, whining, drinking soup, and crap like that

Brad Bestelink has worked with the Jouberts for decades in Botswana, so he knows the territory and how to film it, as well as how to manufacture a story. I just don't like humans in my big cat documentaries, especially when they compete with the cats for the viewers' emotional connection

The Joubert's Eye of the Leopard is a much better Leopard doc, imo, with Jeremy Irons narrating. Boo ya!


Some good shots, not a lot, but it’s the epitome of what I hate about these “oh, it’s all about me filming big cats” … and leopards are kind of boring, and I hated all the needle drops. A lot!

Summary: A nature documentary that follows two leopard cubs as they make the journey from infancy into adulthood.
