Narrative
Growing up in the Amazon jungle, Otem has made a rare friendship with a lost jaguar cub named Hope. When a tragic event forces Otem to leave Hope behind for the unknown of New York, he dreams for years of returning to the rainforest to be with his friend. At the age of 14, as Otem adjusts to city life, she discovers that her childhood village is under threat from animal traffickers, and decides that she must return to the Amazon to be with her beloved jaguar. Anya (Emily Bett Rickards), Otem’s adorably clumsy biology teacher, unsuccessfully tries to dissuade her from this ill-advised plan. Together with Anya, Otem sets out on a journey to reunite with Hope and save her from those who seek to destroy the rainforest and its wildlife.
