Hamilton’s Journey – Manatees in a New Light | Go Wild

Only really unlucky manatees are given a name – and the young Hamilton is a living example of this. 600 kilos of pure friendliness – a manatee is not exactly a paragon of beauty, but without doubt the friendliest giant that inhabits Florida’s waters. They spend most of the daytime eating water plants and selflessly caring for each other. Aggression is completely alien to them. But the world bears a lot of dangers – and the young Hamilton gets to experience this firsthand. Already as a baby he lost his mother in an accident, which also left him with severe injuries. After two years in a manatee hospital, he is finally released – just on time for another near-death experience... But Hamilton is a go-getter, and his outstanding will to survive brings the film to a touching happy ending. For the first time, a team of filmmakers has managed to observe a manatee for three years, astounding even the experienced researchers. Besides, gorgeous images of sea birds, alligators and dolphins depict the astonishing eco-system of the Gulf Coast and Florida’s crystal rivers.
