Absolutely loved it!

I absolutely loved this. It touched me deeply and left a lasting impression. Pangolins are such gentle, innocent animals - there's something so pure about them. Watching this made me realize how vulnerable they are and how much they need our protection.The whole experience felt intimate and real. It wasn't just a documentary - it was emotional, beautiful, and meaningful. I could feel the love and care behind every scene, and it really pulled me in. I found myself completely absorbed from start to finish.Honestly, I could watch a whole series like this. I'd love to see more stories about pangolins being rescued, healed, and released. These kinds of films are so important, not just to raise awareness but because they remind us of the quiet beauty of nature and the power of compassion.So grateful I watched this. It stays with you - highly recommend it.

Magnificent documentary

"Kulu's Journey" so beautifully captures the relationship between a pangolin and his human caretaker.In many ways, this documentary is a tribute to the unsung heroes on the frontlines of wildlife conservation around the world - sacrificing their time, relationships and worldly possessions for the animals they care so deeply for.Without people like Gareth Thomas, pangolins will be reduced to nothing more than stories of a bygone era. It's thanks to volunteers and conservationists alike that we are able to share our planet with such incredible species.A must watch, and another stellar documentary produced by Pippa Ehrlich and her team.

The Octopus Recipe Didn't Work

First of all, this story does not justify its 88-minute runtime, sorry. There's simply not that much content in it, at least in this form. It could easily have been told in a ca. 40 minutes and would have made a great short doc.The pangolin, while undeniably adorable, has limited behaviors and therefore limited filming possibilities - although the cinematography is superb. But after a while, it feels like you're watching the same happenings and same shots on repeat.The human character is a kind and nice person, but not particularly charismatic or compelling. I felt that almost any of the other people involved in the rewilding effort could have made for a more engaging protagonist.It feels like the creators tried to follow a similar formula to My Octopus Teacher, though with a different narrative, but this time it just didn't work. Especially not at this length.
