  • Duma
  • Carroll Ballard (The Black Stallion, Fly Away Home) directs the exciting story of 12-year-old Xan (Alexander Michaletos), who decides to return the cheetah he raised from a cub to the wild instead of allowing pursuers to place it in captivity. Harsh South African landscapes, stalking lions, crocodiles, river rapids and a mysterious drifter (Eamonn Walker) who may intend to turn the big cat in for cash - all will test Xan's courage and resolve. Join him in this tale of growing up and letting go. It's a journey you won't want to miss.

    (Carroll) Ballard (Fly Away Home) is simply the best in the business when it comes to corralling wild animals into the constraints of feature films.

    Cat fanciers and adventure lovers will like Duma, an engaging story of a boy and his cheetah.

    While it would hold up well against other routine kiddie-animal matinees, all through "Duma" I kept thinking of last summer's (similiar but superior) "Two Brothers."

    Kids and animals are often a risky combination, but put them together in a movie such as Duma and you have a winning team.
