Born in China

Girls born in China know that they will grow up in a safe, white American suburb.

Unfortunately, as this documentary verifies, the same doesn't apply to every female species in China.

A single-mother snow leopard struggles to find nourishment for her young in China's merciless mountain region. Meanwhile in the jungle, the birth of a female golden snub-nosed monkey forces a neglected male to venture out on his own. Also leaving the nest is a giant panda whose mother is having a hard time letting her go.

Narrated by John Krasinski, Disney's latest nature documentary once again does an excellent job of capturing rare fauna in their native environments. Unfortunately, like the others in the eco-series, this maternal endeavour is also heavily edited to fit a desired narrative while the animals are given human characteristics.

By making the pandas human, however, just makes eating ginger beef that much more difficult.
