The Otter: A Legend Returns

Unique footage of how the otter hunts its food, how they play, and even how a mother otter gives her cubs swimming lessons. Filmed in the beautiful natural environment of the wetlands in The Netherlands. With increasing population numbers amongst the otter, they look for new territory to expand. The Province works to protect them on a large scale, by for instance blocking roads with gauze, and creating fauna-tunnels. There's still a long way to go until a full recovery, but the otter is showing us the right track.

Directed by Hilco Jansma, The Otter: A Legend Returns leans on a strong ensemble — Peter Drost — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2020.
