Born in China Page #2

Synopsis: Narrated by John Krasinski ("13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi," NBC's "The Office," "Amazon's "Jack Ryan"), Disneynature's new True Life Adventure film "Born In China" takes an epic journey into the wilds of China where few people have ever ventured. Following the stories of three animal families, the film transports audiences to some of the most extreme environments on Earth to witness some of the most intimate moments ever captured in a nature film. A doting panda mother guides her growing baby as she begins to explore and seek independence. A two-year-old golden snub-nosed monkey who feels displaced by his new baby sister joins up with a group of free-spirited outcasts. And a mother snow leopard-an elusive animal rarely caught on camera-faces the very real drama of raising her two cubs in one of the harshest and most unforgiving environments on the planet. Featuring stunning, never-before-seen imagery, the film navigates China's vast terrain-from the frigid mountains to the

these bucks will have to

make do on their own.

(HUFFING)

The migration of

these revered creatures...

washes across the mountain plains

of western China...

like an ocean tide.

Their destination?

The legendary Zhuonai Lake...

in the remote uplands

of the Qinghai Plateau.

(BIRDS CHIRPING)

(CUBS GROWLING)

Dawa's cubs are now old enough...

to venture outside their cave

into the sunshine.

To them, this vast mountain range...

is just one big rocky playground.

(CUBS GROWLING)

Like pandas,

adult snow leopards

live very solitary lives.

So with no one infringing

on her territory...

no competition

for Queen of the Mountain...

she can focus all her attention...

on her young.

Dawa could not be more content.

Nothing compares to being loved

by the ones you love most.

(CUBS GROWLING)

And while Dawa would

love nothing more...

than to just sit back

and watch them climb and play...

she has other responsibilities.

She needs to hunt.

These yaks offer a bounty of meat...

but are far too powerful and dangerous.

She considers this marmot.

(SQUEAKS)

No, she doesn't.

- But these glorious creatures?

- (SHEEP BLEATING)

This is what dinner looks like.

Bharal sheep are Dawa's main prey.

(BLEATING CONTINUES)

Her intimate knowledge

of her home terrain...

helps her locate her prey

and maneuver them...

into rocky narrows and steep slopes...

where they are

more vulnerable to attack.

Like Dawa, these sheep are

built to survive in these mountains.

Their blanched fur

is the ideal camouflage...

and their strong legs

make them remarkably fast and nimble.

(SQUEAKING)

But Dawa is smarter.

Her cubs will go to sleep

with full stomachs tonight.

This one meal

could tide them over for an entire week.

In Dawa's world,

you must take life to give life.

Tao Tao has become

increasingly dejected...

and has been spending a lot of time...

just trying to avoid his little sister,

and his family.

But today, he's come across

some interesting neighbors...

who could change all that.

(MONKEYS SCREECHING)

These are the Lost Boys...

a gang of young male outcasts...

some of them as young as TaoTao.

These guys know all about rejection.

Being a Lost Boy is sort of

like running away to join the circus...

except with fewer rules.

These kids don't seem

to have a care in the world.

This is Rooster...

the leader of the Lost Boys.

He's been in a lot of battles.

You see that eye?

TaoTao's father had a hand in that.

He's certainly taken notice of Tao Tao.

Maybe Tao Tao reminds him

of himself at that age.

Or maybe he just stares at stuff a lot.

In any case, if Tao Tao

has been looking...

for a way to vent his frustrations...
