Wild Home: Home Is where The Heart Is
This is my favorite documentary out of all the ones watched during the three day festival. This I feel is because it is so closely linked to my major and very much had a profound impact on me because of it. This film tells the story of how Bob Miner, a Vietnam War veteran found his calling in life when he found himself way back in the Maine woods rehabilitating abused and abandoned animals. Bob along with his wife use there home for animals of all shapes and sizes to come to seek refuge such as lions, tigers, hyenas, kangaroos, black bears, and 200 other species of animal. The great lengths these to caring people went to help these animals just astounded me when watching this film. It really shows that if you work hard enough anything is posibble. I know Bob would say the same as he found his two true loves coming hand and hand, which would be his wife and the animals they care for and have made apart of there family. Upon watching this film I had a huge urge to go out and peruse my dream as a wildlife biologist just as he had done being these animals and the life he had made for himself. Since there animal sanctuary is in Maine and is only one hour away from Unity College campus, as well as being open to the public, I exclaimed "we are going there!" to my friend as soon as the film had come to an end. I was supprised to find out however that the night was not over yet when Bob Miner himself along with his wife stepped out of the audience as surprise guests.
