The Kukang Movie
For several years, a couple of Czechs have been spending most of their time in Sumatra, Indonesia, where they have set up a project to protect the slow loris. The time-lapse documentary focuses on conservation and is a portrait of determination but also of setbacks and friendship.
In the film, zoologists and conservationists fight the illegal wildlife trade and work to protect slow loris, animals that fall victim to their cuteness. Working with local communities and, ironically, the poachers themselves is crucial to the rescue program.
