Wild Home

About This Movie

Wild Home is a deeply introspective documentary that captures the life of Bob Miner, a Vietnam vet who carves out his own sanctuary amidst the wilderness of Maine. There's a rawness to the film that feels genuine, as it explores themes of healing and connection to these majestic, yet troubled, creatures. The pacing is quite reflective, allowing you to really absorb the weight of Miner’s story and his bond with the lions and tigers he's taken in. There's minimal glossiness—it's all very grounded. The practical effects of nature and the animals themselves create a striking backdrop, while Miner's performance feels authentic and unvarnished. It's a glimpse into redemption, showing how even the most fragmented lives can find purpose.
