National Geographic’s Charlie Hamilton James brings us a beautiful story in Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story. A film about a wildlife surprise that comes to Billy Mail and he receives it with open arms and love.
The Synopsis
When a wild otter in desperate need of help washes up on his jetty in the remote Scottish islands of Shetland, Billy, his wife Susan, and their devoted sheepdog Jade find themselves with a unique new member of their family.
After Charlie Hamilton James received his very first camera on his thirteenth birthday he found his appreciation for photography. By the age of sixteen he had worked in the BBC Trials of Life series. Other series came along like Planet Earth and The Natural World. At 25 he made his own film, My Halcyon River and gave him recognition among other wildlife films. At thirty he joined the National Geographic magazine as a photographer. Today he has shot thirteen stories that include two covers. James received the National Geographic Photographer’s Photographer Award in 2022. Currently he is working on images for the End Time documentary.

I had the pleasure to connect with Charlie Hamilton James, Billy and Susan Mail to talk about the making of Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story. James shared how he found out about Billy and Molly as well as how he integrated the Mails participation in the documentary at all times. Susan spoke about her experience seeing her husband’s fascination for his new friendship and thriving with his new responsibility. Billy talked about Molly and hoped she felt the same for him although fully aware of being a wild otter.
