Do not waste your time. It is all lies. Just an animal commentary

The most mangled footage ever. I bet the camera crew vomited when they saw what was done. It's either a documentary or a film. There's no in between. Anthropomorphizing is insulting. Who's the target audience? Probably crayon.

I saw the picture of the famous 'Black panther by the shadow of female panther' a while ago in the news, titled as, 'the eternal couple'. I was amazed by the photography and the efforts put in by the photographer after reading the backstory behind the photo. This documentary narrates a wonderful drama and real life story behind 3 panthers in Khabini's forest including other animals. Moments of tiger scene is like a big star cameo in movies. Truly magnificent everything about the nature, Indian forests, wildlife diversity, and drama.

I couldn't get past the intro. I was hoping that speaking in the first person was just for the intro but it wasn't. All the other docus I watched were great and had either regular narration or we were along for the ride with an actual explorer. This was just weird and unnecessary. The voice actor didn't help but to be honest, I don't think it would have mattered.

Shaaz Jung and his team must be given a huge round of applause for their spectacular determination and dedication. We watched the film on Big Cat Week in the US and all of us , including our two kids loved it. The cinematography was breathtaking and I was lucky to be in Kabini when Shaaz and a South African couple were spending months tracking Saya. Well done to the team on this superb documentation of a black leopard. Shaaz's pictures in the movie and the National Geographic magazine are an absolute delight. We can't wait for the sequel!

As another reviewer stated, I also did not like the first-person narrative. I kept waiting for some kind of educational information about black panthers in general.. statistics, facts, anything. It provided none of that. It was just a short story about one particular panther. I suppose it would be good for kids. It's just not the same quality as PBS Nature.

The fact that you used an anglican/european voice for this was utterly direspectful & ruined this potential experience for me within the first 15 seconds. Talk to Michael B. Or Danielle Kaluuya, then reshoot this.

Must watch with kids! The narration is beautiful. The direction is awesome. Feels like I am watching it from close by.
