The Meerkats (2008)

Film · 2008 · 83 min · Documentary · Family

Heroes so small they have to be seen on the big screen.

A coming of age story following a young meerkat pup, Kolo, growing up in the Kalahari desert; and an inspiring look at how one family's connection to each other and their surroundings is a model of resilience and fortitude for us all. Shot using ground-breaking techniques, this dramatised documentary is a one-of-a-kind presentation from The Weinstein Company and the BBC, featuring narration by Paul Newman.

Directed by James Honeyborne

Starring Paul Newman, Rufus Beck, Guillaume Canet
