The late great critic Roger Ebert once said that “movies are like a machine that generates empathy” – the idea being that when we sit down and watch dramas, comedies, documentaries or even horror films, they take us out of ourselves and force us to share in the pain and triumph of others. In short, they can make us better people. Watching Wildlife Rescue, no one would call it a cinematic masterpiece, but Ebert would definitely approve as it...
