    MAN, CHEETAH, WILD is a wildlife docuseries featuring maverick filmmaker Kim Wolhuter as he tracks family of cheetah, and successfully records their everyday lives on film. The third generation bushman, known for his uncanny ability to connect easily with animals from his native Zimbabwe, manages to track a wild cheetah he previously worked with on the Malilangwe Game Reserve. After discovering that she now has a family of five cubs, he spends over a year in the bush following them with his cameras. Incredibly, the animals allow him to sit with them, run along side them, and even collar them with tracking devices. Capturing Wolhuter's activities is novice cameraman Jules Braatvedt. Contending with the cheetah's natural enemies, as well as with many other predators living in the bush, lead to a few close calls, but Wolhuter does his best to follow, watch, and film the cheetah in hopes of raising awareness about their endangered status.
