Movie Trailer
This film documents orphaned orangutans and elephants and the extraordinary people who rescue and raise them -- saving endangered species one life at a time. Stunningly captured with proprietary IMAX technology "Born to be Wild" is a heartwarming adventure transporting moviegoers into the lush rainforests of Borneo with world-renowned primatologist Dr. Birute Galdikas, and across the rugged Kenyan savannah with celebrated elephant authority Dame Daphne Sheldrick, as they and their team rescue, rehabilitate and return these incredible animals back to the wild.
Every dollar raised at the Philly Run Wild 2016 5K will go towards providing orphaned orangutans a stronger chance of survival in the wild. If you would like to increase the impact of your participation even more, have your friends and family pledge on your behalf!
