Movie Description
The following content was provided by the publisher.
Carroll Ballard, director of The Black Stallion and Never Cry Wolf, presents another story of an unusual relationship between humans and animals in this drama. Xan (Alexander Michaletos) is a young boy who lives with his father and mother (Campbell Scott and Hope Davis) on a ranch in Kenya. One day, Xan and his folks discover a cheetah cub whose mother has died. With no one to care for the cat, Xan and his family take the cheetah under their wing, and after naming the cub "Dooms" (from "Duma," which means "male cheetah cub" in Swahili), Xan and his new friend become inseparable. However, Xan and his parents discover in time that nature doesn't always have a happy ending planned for a little boy. Duma was based on a book for children called How It Was With Dooms: A True Story From Africa, by Carol Cawthra Hopcraft and Xan Hopcraft, which told the story of Xan's real-life friendship with a cheetah. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 2reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lexpert724 A great movie This is a great movie for the whole family. A white boy in Africa finds a baby cheetah and raises it upuntil it's fully grown. The boy's father tells him they must release the cheetah back into the wild. But the boy's father dies and the boy tries to release the cheetah on his own. On the way the boy meets an African man who at first wants to sell the cheetah, but then helps the boy. .. It's a great story with a happy ending. 02/20/2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by NanaBecca Purchased as a gift We already had the movie, and a friend of the granddaughter raved about the movie after viewing it at my house, so I am purchasing this one as a birthday gift for her. This movie brings opportunity for so many subjects, I believe it is well worth the time to sit and watch with children of all ages. 05/16/2011
