When I first loaded this up I was shocked to see it was an hour and twenty minutes and thought there would be no way it could justify that length but I just finished watching it in one sitting where I was captivated throughout and almost moved to tears by the end.
In contrast to something like Blue Planet which gives a holistic, whistle stop tour of the oceans, this focuses on a single animal in its environment and the guy was able to document pretty much its entire life story over the course of about a year which makes it very personal. The level of trust he builds with the subject allows him to get some incredible footage, I'd highly recommend anyone interested in this kind of thing to give it a shot
