The Cheetah Man

This observational film followed the release of five wild orphan cheetahs back into the Namibian bush and the man who made it possible. Shot largely on HD and for the most intimate moments with a Sony Z1 camera, this film follows the remarkable and emotional journey of one of Africa’s most enigmatic animal conservationists. Passionate about saving the Namibian cheetah, we follow Olivier Houalet, as he releases the cheetahs, he nurtured for five years back into the wild. Will they survive once they are finally released?
