Mother of Buffalo Documentary

Mother of Buffalo is a feature-length documentary following Jean Leung, who has devoted 18 years to caring for the wild water buffalo of Lantau Island, Hong Kong. What began as nursing a single injured bull back to health grew into a one-woman mission to protect an entire 100+ population of water buffalo scattered across the island.

Directed, shot, and edited by Luis Arturo Tapia @luisarturotapia over five years of embedded, observational filmmaking.

Now screening on Cathay Pacific flights worldwide. Feature film in post-production.
