It's a crime what happened to the wonderful African wilderness movie Duma in 2005. Beautifully directed by veteran Carroll Ballard, Duma fell flat in the United States because of bad timing and abysmal marketing.

For those wishing they still made films like The Black Stallion, today is your lucky day.
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News
Fresh
Visually panoramic, a film that revels in making the expanse of a beautiful place palpable.
Philip Kennicott, Washington Post
Fresh
Too suspenseful for the youngest children, but for anyone older than 8 or 9, it evokes nothing less than awe at the harsh beauty of the natural world.
Ty Burr, Boston Globe

With ravenous alligators and lions on the prowl, Duma delivers familiar adventure, but Ballard refuses to cater to cuteness.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
