Didn't know what I was getting into when starting the film. The next 106 minutes was 75% crying, 10% anger, and 15% awe and inspiration. The film hit close to home personally on several topics such as mental abuse, suicidal ideation, and alcoholism. For many others I imagine it does the same for PTSD and self harm. The film eloquently captures the healing power of animals and nature. My partner insisted we get two cats and later committed suicide after we had separated and after I had suffered through years of mental abuse and attempting to get him help. Our two cats were the only thing that got me through it for a long time. These two individual's stories are touching, inspiring, and powerful. The way this is pulled together from almost "reality TV" type footage and other personal recordings is really incredible. Highly recommended, as difficult as it can be to watch at times. The film captures so many feelings and challenges we have all been though. Thank you for this wonderful documentary.

This documentary focussed on a pathetic individual called Harry who manipulated a poor woman with constant threats of suicide and self harm. Harry is one of life's victims and I got fed up with watching him cry and seek attention. Samantha constantly has to molly coddle him and try her best to reassure him. This had a lot of potential but was sabotaged by Harry. I think this documentary should have focussed on Samantha, she came from a troubled upbringing and replicated that in her adult life. Seeking comfort and a deranged normalcy in dysfunctional beings such as Harry. She was mentally strong, educated, courageous and someone who is going places. I don't think anyone but his parents could say.

I can't believe they promote this as a wildlife documentary, its actually about ptsd and emotional abuse from someone that refuses help. An emotionally unstable and suicidal young man travels to the Peruvian rain forest to try and escape his mental illness only to emotionally abuse a young conservationist with daddy issues and take out his emotional trauma on two ocelots. He acts like he wants what's best for the animals chases them away then when he hasn't seen them for a few days welcomes them back and shows them affection further confusing the animals he's supposedly trying to rehabilitate. I'm just glad he went back to his family and Samantha decided to end the relationship so she could continue to help the animals without having to worry about a mentally ill young man alone in the rain forest.

As someone who suffers from a lifelong depressive illness, and is also a fan of felines, i knew this would be my type of program.... I just didnt think it would affect me as strongly as it did.... Love, loss, heartache, darkness, worry, fear, all clearly and brilliantly displayed.... There are still good people in the world, and its always nice to see them in action... credit goes out to everyone who was involved in making this inspirational video, i wasnt crying it mustve been an allergy, its cleared up enough now to write my first ever imdb review although it might not be my last. A must watch for anyone who likes cats, although painful at times...
