“There is very little information available about sloths,” says director Jeri Ledbetter. “And much of what has been printed is incorrect.” The sloth is physically incapable of rapid movement, but is remarkably well adapted to life in the rainforest canopies of South America, subsisting mainly on a diet of leaves and sleeping up to eighteen hours a day. These peaceful characteristics, along with the sloth’s permanent smile, have caused it to become a symbol of ecological and social conscientiousness: sloths lead a low-energy, cyclical, symbiotic, and non-violent lifestyle in harmony with the earth. In these days of high stress, fast food, and cheap sound bites, there is much we can learn from the sloth; their meditative calmness serves as the perfect antidote to a bleak day. Jeri explains, “They aren’t lazy; they are calm and deliberate. They remain completely at peace, no matter what is going on around them.” This new film dispels the myths and introduces you this amazing creature. Filmed in Costa Rica and Panama, "Hanging with the Sloth" is a must for nature lovers of all ages.
