Ghost of the Mountains (2017). Ghost of the Mountains: Directed by Ben Wallis. With Antoine Fuqua, Shane Moore, Edward Anderson, Dondrub Dorje. Disneynature's international team of filmmakers travel to the mountains of China to find and film the elusive snow leopard on the highest plateau on Earth, while enduring brutal weather and unsettled terrain.

“Some viewers complained that there was no mention of Tibet. I am sure that that was a stipulation from the Chinese faction, otherwise you know they would have included the information. You canu0026#39;t just go into China and do whatever you want. There is protocol.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnother complaint people have is that there was minimal footage of the snow leopards. Not surprising! Thereu0026#39;s a rare leopard somewhere that people have spent decades trying to film, and were ecstatic when they got a couple of still photos at night. And yet, this crew, spending months in extreme conditions, managed to get a good bit of hi-res film of a mother snow leopard and her cubs, basking and playing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eItu0026#39;s not a lot of footage compared to what youu0026#39;d get if you went to film flamingos in Florida, or monkeys in the rainforest. But for tracking a rare and elusive animal to the ends of the earth, and waiting months to film it, this is quite a coup! I didnu0026#39;t mind that most of the film centered on the crew and the elements; I enjoy people stories. Every moment of being able to see the snow leopards in the wild though … that was priceless!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis was a very enjoyable documentary for me.. the human experience, the spectacular scenery, and close up views of snow leopards.. I got what I came for!”
