During the late 1950s in Venezuela, nine-year-old Elizabeth\u2019s summer break takes a wild turn when her little brother Leo vanishes into the jungle. She must swap her books for bravery, not only to find her brother but also to rescue a mystical furry animal from captivity and bring him back up to the legendary Tepui mountain.<\/p>\n
\nDirected by:<\/strong> Edmunds Jansons The film Born in the Jungle is an adventure film for young audiences. The two main characters are children, a sister and a brother, who are about to experience a fantastic day full of adventures. As their mother Vilma says, \u201cThere\u2019s always a grain of truth in every story\u201d. In fact, this family really did exist in the 1950s: a father who was an explorer, a courageous mother and two young children, the youngest who, like Leo, was born in the Venezuelan jungle, near the River Chur\u00fan, at the foot of Mount Tepui, which, in the Pem\u00f3n language, means \u201chouse of the gods\u201d.<\/p>\n Among other things, the film explores the theme of family bonds: a brother and sister who love each other but bicker, and parents whose choices are not always easy for their children to understand.<\/p>\n The film\u2019s plot is driven forward by the presence of villains, wildlife traffickers whom the children oppose. This story reminds younger generations of the importance of respecting those around us. I also paid close attention to the visual quality of the film. Thanks to the work of the illustrator El\u012bna Brasli\u0146a and her team, I wouldn\u2019t mind spending, if not the rest of my life, then at least a lovely holiday in these lush settings!<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text] [vc_row] [vc_column] [vc_column_text] BORN IN THE JUNGLE Latvia, Poland, Czechia | 2026 | 70′ 5+ Dubbed in Slovenian, with English subtitles ABOUT THE FILM During the late 1950s in Venezuela, nine-year-old Elizabeth\u2019s summer break takes a wild turn when her little brother Leo vanishes into the jungle.
