Powerful. Deadly. Elusive. Manana is a wild leopard. She could kill a man with ease. Yet besides her sits JV, unarmed and unharmed no bars, no cage. She gently brushes past him, almost touching. Today she will allow him to join her as a hunter, a privilege rarely bestowed on fellow leopards, let alone a human. John Varty, wildlife cameraman, has a unique friendship with this wild cat and has gained access to the mysterious world of one of nature's most enigmatic animals.—Aquavision TV Productions

Powerful, deadly and elusive, she could kill a man with ease, yet beside her sits John Varty (JV), unarmed and unharmed. JV is a renowned wildlife cameraman who has filmed her for the past 16 years. Her life on camera reveals intimate insights into the world of leopards: the constant threat of other predators, the endless struggles to keep her kills, and the often tragic battles to protect her cubs. JV witnesses remarkable behaviour rarely seen in the wild, from aerial attack on her prey from the tree tops, to consuming her own dead cub as part of a heart-rending grieving process.—AQUAVISION
