The Route to Cappyness - Discover the Curious World of the Capybara

A meditative journey from the riverbanks of South America to the hot springs of Japan, this documentary uncovers the extraordinary rise of the capybara, nature’s gentlest creature from little-known rodent to global viral icon and unlikely ambassador of calm in an anxious world. 

Following the screening, Nottingham director Sharon Walia will join us for a live Q&A to discuss the filmmaking process, shooting capybaras in the wild, and literally being lost in translation while capturing Japan’s extraordinary capybara fever.
