If you loved The Black Stallion, try Duma

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Carroll Ballard, and they both carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Adventure / Family territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Black Stallion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Duma is

Some kids get a goldfish, others a cheetah. A young boy in South Africa befriends an orphaned cheetah. It goes about as well as one would expect.
