Overview

Three years in the making, this remarkable documentary was filmed entirely in Sabah, Malaysia. It follows the rehabilitation and release of a rescued sun bear named Itam. Developed in close collaboration with the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre, the production was granted rare access to archival records, veterinary logs, field operations, and the complete rewilding process. This access allows the film to move beyond surface observation into deeply-researched, character-driven storytelling. Combining immersive cinematic language with investigative scientific inquiry, ITAM: A SUN BEAR STORY positions Southeast Asian conservation stories within global discourse.
