TUNE IN: CHEETAH FAST & WILD on CBC and CBC Gem – April 2

CBC on Thursday April 2nd
9:00PM (9:30 NF) and on CBC Gem.

Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker Joe Kennedy, Cheetah Fast and Wild provides exclusive access to a process many experts once called impossible: “wilding” captive-born cheetahs to become successful, self-sufficient hunters.

The documentary follows the emotional and perilous journey of Lilly and Iris, two cheetah sisters orphaned after their mother was killed by lions. Now, after two years in captivity, they have a shot at living wild. We follow these cats as they undergo the trials of learning to live as wild cheetahs.

This film also journeys into the wild, featuring three young cubs also learning to hunt. They have a formidable teacher, their mother. Through their experiences, we see just what Lilly and Iris have missed out on – and what they still have to learn.
