TEN MONTHS

About This Movie

TEN MONTHS (2022) is a poignant short documentary that captures the unique bond between Zacharia Mutai and the last two northern white rhinos. The film's tone is intimate, almost fragile, as it explores the themes of love and conservation through Zacharia's dedicated care over ten months. The pacing is deliberate, allowing viewers to absorb the weight of the situation and the rare connection being documented. Practical effects are minimal—it's all about the raw emotional landscape. Zacharia's performances feel genuine and heartfelt, drawing you into the reality of these majestic yet endangered creatures. There’s a quiet urgency in the narrative that lingers long after viewing, which makes it stand out in a sea of wildlife documentaries.
