Michael Webber’s documentary about people fixated on owning wild, often dangerous animals (lots of TV news clips and talking heads). The heart of it is the connection between Tim Harrison, an Ohio cop who cares equally about people and “pets,” and Terry Brumfield, a man emotionally fixated on his caged African lions. The film is even-handled and sensitive but full of pathos because the cats have such constricted lives. There is a leonine death, very hard to watch. (2011) — David Elliott
