Born to Be Wild
Born to be loved. Born to be free.
Directed by David Lickley
Produced by IMAX
A tender documentary celebrating the bonds between dedicated caretakers and orphaned animals, set against the stunning natural beauty of rainforests and savannahs.
Born to Be Wild observes various orphaned jungle animals and their day-to-day behavioural interactions with the individuals who rescue them and raise them to adulthood. The film unfurls in two separate geographic spheres. Half of it takes place in the rain forests of Borneo, where celebrated primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas assists baby orangutans; the other half takes place on the arid savannahs of Kenya, where zoologist Dame Daphne Sheldrick works with baby elephant calves.
