Take a trek with a National Geographic wildlife photographer and his son as they journey to majestic landscapes across the globe in search of the last great big cats, including the Mato Grosso jaguar, the Patagonian cougar, the Rajasthani tiger, and the ever-elusive snow leopard of the Himalayas. Filmed across four continents—and over the course of several pivotal years in the son’s young adulthood—we get up close to these magnificent creatures, both human and wild. At the heart of the story is the delicate connection between father and son, the creative spirit from which the boy draws inspiration, and the imaginative lenses that bind them both. At times whispering and still, the film captures the essence of spirit in its sublime meditations on flora and fauna, leaving viewers with a reverence for nature and life itself.
