“Amazonia” is awesome! It’s a delightful look at the Amazon through the eyes of Sai, a Capuchin monkey, who winds up in the Brazilian rain forest, due to a downed plane. On his own, he must learn the ways of the jungle, and he has a few close calls, thanks to a harpy eagle that eats monkeys. A jaguar also chases him. Everything turns out okay in the end for Sai, but he has a few tense moments. Sai eats some poisonous mushrooms and hallucinates but survives the ordeal. However, he becomes wise to the ways of the jungle by the time the documentary concludes.
The scenery is breathtaking, and the film features very unusual and, in some cases, dangerous creatures of the jungle, including an anaconda. The viewer will get to know Sai and his curious personality. The film also shares some interesting facts, such as the Amazon being the largest rain forest on Earth. It has 40,000 plants and 1,300 birds. We are happy to award this film our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for all ages, with a note that it includes a few moments of tension in the jungle. Watching this film is like taking a journey to another planet. It has earned our best rating, five Doves.
