Feature Documentary /
A key member of iconic bands The Dirty Three and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, multi-instrumentalist Ellis has cut an unorthodox figure in music for over three decades. Far from the international concert halls in which he has plied his craft lies a very different passion project: a wildlife sanctuary in the forests of Sumatra. Co-founded by Ellis and spearheaded by the indomitable Femke den Haas, whose dedicated team of conservationists rescues trafficked and mistreated animals, then nurses them back to health.
This fly-on-the-wall documentary offers a deeply personal insight into one artist’s life, and an inspiring reminder of how much can be achieved when good people work together.
