Dear Dereck, Beverly and Verity,
We are happy to inform you that your film “The Unlikely Leopard”
received a Special Mention from the International Jury at Sondrio
Festival 2013 – International Documentary Film Festival on Parks (XXVII
edition, Sondrio, Italy, 30 September – 6 October 2013):
“The jury feels compelled to make a special mention for the film The
Unlikely Leopard. This strong competitor used superior cinematography
and excellent narration to challenge the audience to question the
relationship between our appreciation of beauty and the realities of
exploitation. For demanding our attention to a serious conservation
dilemma, this work shows us the danger in loving the leopard to death.”
