This is the unlikely story of a man who fathers a wild otter in the lower half of the Arctic. Perhaps the best wildlife documentary of 2024. From National Geographic and Silverback Films, Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story is a heart-warming story of love between a wild otter and a man living in retirement in the Shetland Islands who is out in his boat one day and comes across a young orphaned river otter. An absolutely brilliant film, it has everything, warmth, tears, laughter and heart loving joy. There is never a false step in this emotionally involving documentary, which shows three distinct species interacting, all of them emotionally stirring. Molly is a compellingly sweet-natured creature, playful, charming, and Billy becomes the father he never quite managed to be in life. This is story shows how we connect deeply with the creatures that we encounter in life. Molly is pure joy and you can see the profound affect she has on Billy’s life. But Billy’s generosity is compelling, as is his wife’s. You will not soon forget this lovely film. Kudos to National Geographic and their partners for creating something so pure and and heart-warming.
