Looking for the Wild (Spanish: El viaje de Unai) is a 2016 documentary film directed by nature photographer Andoni Canela.
Unai, the photographer's son, tells the 15-month journey around the world that Andoni Canela did with his entire family in search of seven threatened animals on all continents.
More than a year living with African elephants, American bisons, great hornbills, gentoo penguins, saltwater crocodiles, Iberian wolves and cougars in their natural habitat is a call for contemplation and also for the conservation of these creatures in the wild.
Canela chose animals that have traditionally maintained a tense relationship with humans, in some cases being on the verge of extinction, and living in a habitat of high ecological value (the Namib desert, North American prairies, jungles Southeast Asia, Antarctica, mangroves and tropical forests of northern Australia, the Cantabrian Mountains and the steppes of Patagonia) to communicate a conservation message.
In that sense, it has been said that: "Unai's voice invites to sensibility, Meritxell's words prove that the wild world is not at odds with the security of a family and the impeccable photograph of Andoni paints a pristine and natural canvas.
