Wisdom of the Wild (#1705)
Duration:
55:20 CC Stereo DVI TVG
This moving documentary film introduces viewers to people who have been touched by wildness; who have discovered that animals can act as mentors, healers, teachers, and friends. The Wisdom of the Wild has been with us since humans first walked the earth. Some examples: for centuries, medicine men have been tracking the chimpanzees of the Mahale Mountains, in the Tanzanian rainforest, to find cures for several perplexing diseases. Deep within the jungle, traditional healers and modern scientists are taking cues from apes who have identified the healing properties of rainforest plants. On the windswept Colorado prairie, the lives of troubled teenagers are being transformed by horses.

This is the story of his personal journey into the world of dolphins, the sometimes dangerous waters into which they have led him and his continuing crusade to protect them.
