The past is a foreign country...

The filmmakers' attempt to rekindle nostalgic memories quickly become something deeper and darker. A touching and important doco.

A must watch for animal lovers and those who enjoy a fine documentary.

Fantastic documentary which shows the reality behind the use of animals in TV shows etc. It has a warm heart and has been brought to us by people who care. Fantastic viewing and it packs an emotional wallop. Highly recommended to animal lovers or people who enjoy a fascinating documentary. Cobby's story - and that of other beautiful creatures like him who've been ill treated by humans deserves to be known far and wide. A gem of a show.

A lifting of the veil on what lies behind a memory

We all have childhood memories. This is a beautifully constructed film on what lies behind one particular memory. The insights reveal shared memories and lessons on how humankind impact the lives of animals. Recommended for all that care to see.
