The Margay and Me is a visually rich coming of age documentary set deep inside Guyana’s untouched rainforest.
At its heart: an orphaned margay, one of nature’s most elusive wild cats, released back into a world he does not know – and Falton, a young man returning to the jungle that raised him after a life-changing ordeal.
With no established knowledge of how margays survive in the wild, Falton becomes teacher, guardian and companion on a dangerous journey through the canopy realm of jaguars, piranhas and hidden threats. As science meets lived indigenous knowledge, man and animal rediscover instinct, resilience and belonging.
Presented through Falton’s deeply personal perspective, this one-off film offers a distinctive blend of wildlife access and human-led storytelling.
