A film about Warren Ellis that stars Femke den Haas

This documentary is ostensibly about the violinist with The Dirty Three and Nick Cave collaborator Warren Ellis. Touching on his life and his relationship with his parents and his journey to a career in music. It is also a film about Femke den Haas, an activist for animal rights whi has been at the sharp, bloody end of activism, rescuing animals from terrible conditions at the heart of the smuggling trade. She is one of humanity's good people. Just typing her name gives me goosebumps. In addition to her work with Dolphins she has run a sanctuary to rehabilitate trafficked wild animals in Indonesia. In 2018, she was introduced to Warren Ellis who offered to fund the sanctuary and buy them a decent chunk of land. Ellis is a humble guy and lets Femke take centre stage for a good portion of the film, which is intersperse with him making the soundtrack for it.It is bookended with scenes from Ellis's family life and his career with Cave and The Dirty Three.I don't want to write a reveal all review and am keeping it spoiler free. I want people to go and see this. Its incredibly good. Its on release as I write I've seen this film twice now. First time was at a small cinema and sadly the soundtrack was so loud it ruined the aural experience - but not the visual experience. It was incredibly moving. I shed a few tears. Today I saw it again, in a larger cinema on a big screen. It had an even deeper emotional impact on me. I cried again.

Everyone Should See This

Please show this to all children and help them to understand we have to stop this hell on earth for creatures that have just as much right to a normal life as we do. I would love to use the same excruciatingly cruel tactics on the people who hurt these animals. That is truly what should happen but never will.

Transcendent experience - restores faith in our species.

Please see this movie and support the vital and incredible work of Ellis Park in rescuing, treating and rehabilitating wild animals that have been injured and abused by the deplorable wildlife trafficking industry. Warren Ellis, Femke den Haas and all the animal activists, liberating these exquisite animals from hideous suffering and cruelty, deserve Saint like status.Incredibly inspiring to see Warren support such a desperately needed venture - his respect for and dedication to these precious yet vulnerable and powerless animals is truly beautiful. He honours the animals and those that care for them with such warmth and sincerity. Not a whiff of ego or artifice, a gifted musical genius with a deep soul and empathy for animals. Watching and listening to him play violin is sublimely moving and heart wrenching, particularly after learning about his childhood and adult struggles. Wish there were more wealthy humans and celebrities who would support the widespread neglect and abuse of animals. Hope his noble endeavours inspire all of us to do something.
