Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Duma is a 2005 film directed by Carroll Ballard (The Black Stallion, Fly Away Home, Never Cry Wolf), distributed by Warner Bros.In South Africa, a cheetah cub is orphaned after his mother is killed by lions. Wandering outside the protected reserve where he lives, he's rescued and hand-raised by 12-year-old Xan (Alex Michaeletos) and his parents. As time passes, the cub, now named Duma, becomes one of the family. Once Duma reaches maturity, Xan and his dad, Peter (Campbell Scott), make plans to send him back to the wild (albeit with some reluctance on Xan's part).Suddenly, Peter falls ill and dies. Xan's mother, Kristin (Hope Davis), is forced to lease the farm and move the family to Johannesburg, where they stay with her sister. On their first day in the city, Duma escapes and visits Xan's school, causing an uproar. To keep them from being separated by the authorities, Xan takes Duma on an epic journey over the border into Botswana to set the cheetah free, as Peter had planned. Along the way, they team up with Ripkuna (Eamonn Walker), a drifter who may have designs on Duma himself, and Xan comes to terms with his father's death.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Dark and Troubled Past | |
| Duma / int_fed93e1b | comment |
Dark and Troubled Past: When we first meet Ripkuna, he doesn't offer many hints as to his backstory. Later on, we learn that he left his village to find a better life for himself, but ultimately failed, and has wandered aimlessly ever since, regretting leaving his family. By film's end, he's back home to stay. | |
