Wildcat Synopsis
A journey into a rarely seen, often misunderstood world of extraordinary beauty, lush biodiversity and deep emotion, the documentary Wildcat follows the journey of an unlikely family unit: a traumatized veteran of the war in Afghanistan, a visionary scientist looking for sanctuary from her chaotic childhood, and an orphaned ocelot kitten with little chance of surviving without their help.
Directed by Melissa Lesh & Trevor Beck Frost. Produced by Melissa Lesh, Trevor Beck Frost, Alysa Nahmias, and Joshua Altman. Executive Producers for the film include our very own board member, Stephen Hall. An Amazon Studios Film.
