Brilliant, captivating film for all the family. Superb photography

A Customer from Surrey, England, 1st October, 2005

Duma (the Swahili word for Cheetah) tells the story of an unbreakable friendship bond between a young boy called Xan and a cheetah called Duma. Set in the amazing landscape of South Africa, the boy and his dad befriend an orphaned cheetah cub. As the film unfolds, through many amusing as well as poignant scenes, Xan eventually has to face the true test of love when he has to cross the plains of South Africa to return Duma to his true homeland. A fanastic film, with stunning photography and powerful acting, it's a must for all ages to see!

dumb or duma

Mr Bosch from Scotland, 7th February, 2006

Refreshingly refreshing. Fed on a diet of brainless action movies and over precious indie films it is good to watch a wholesome enjoyable movie that the whole family can appreciate. The whole cast are great and the young boy has a great future. Word of warning though, the cheetah is unbearably cute and you may find your young ones enquiring about where they could get one....Hope youve got a good reason ready.... Very good picture......

Worth a Watch

A Customer from Loughborough, 4th November, 2005

A long film so if you have children that are easily bored then this isn't for them. I thought that this was an animation looking at the picture but it is not.
