A beautiful story demonstrating the care of wild Pandas based on Ben Kilham’s work and research.

Synopsis: From Nancy Jones
This new film follows Qian Qian (pronounced Chen Chen), who was selected from a group of roly poly baby pandas for her stubborn streak of independence and affectionate nature. It is a visual treat with sweeping views of the forested mountain region in China’s Sichuan province, where some of the world’s last populations of wild giant pandas chomp bamboo, clinging to life in the face of encroaching human development. Qian Qian’s
story is panda plentiful and optimized for maximum family-friendly visual enjoyment.

The method of successfully raising baby bears was adapted from the work of the New England-based naturalist Ben Kilham who works tirelessly to raise and reintroduce orphaned black bears to the forests of New Hampshire. Kilham—also known as “papa bear”—and his sister Phoebe have been working with cubs since the 1990s, and have released more than 160 bears back into their natural habitat.
