Die Story:
Die Gepardin Maleika hat sechs Junge zur Welt gebracht: Martha, Malte, Mirelèe, Marlo, der so gern klettert, Mia und Tollpatsch Majet. Mit ihrer struppigen Nackenmähne sehen sie aus wie Punks, und mit jedem Tag werden die Kleinen frecher und mutiger. Noch ist das Leben für die jungen Geparden ein Spiel und sie werden von ihrer Mutter Maleika beschützt. Jede neue Herausforderung bringt die Gepardenkinder ein Stück weiter in Richtung Selbstständigkeit. Doch die Wildnis birgt auch für die schnellsten Jäger der Erde viele Gefahren. Jedes Abenteuer könnte das letzte sein. Wir sind dabei, während die Rasselbande heranwächst, begleiten sie bei ihrem ersten Ausflug mit ihrer Mutter, der aufregenden Ausbildung zu Jägern und auf ihrem Weg zu neuen Abenteuern.
MALEIKA offenbart Momente großer Freude, zeigt aber auch, dass das Leben in der freien Wildnis nicht immer einfach ist, sogar manchmal ohne Ausweg zu sein scheint … Am Ende jedoch steht nur eine Botschaft: Egal was passiert, aufgeben ist keine Lösung - auch für Gepardin Maleika nicht!
Um dem Publikum eine große emotionale Nähe zu den Figuren zu ermöglichen, hat sich Matto Barfuss durch die Erzählweise der Disneyfilme inspirieren lassen. Entstanden ist ein bildgewaltiges Kinoabenteuer, das das Publikum teilhaben lässt an einer der berührendsten Geschichten, die die Natur je erzählte.
Regisseur Matto Barfuss ist der breiten Öffentlichkeit als der "Gepardenmann" bekannt, er lebte zwischen 1996 bis 2002 in Tansania über 25 Wochen lang mit einer wilden Gepardenfamilie zusammen. Er ist Fotograf, Maler, Autor und leidenschaftlicher Tierfilmer. Seine Berichte und Bildbände über die Zeit in der Wildnis machten ihn weltweit bekannt. Matto Barfuss ist UNESCO-Fotopreisträger, er ist UN-Botschafter für biologische Vielfalt und Tierschützer.
Im Januar 2019 erscheint seine KinoVision "Wild und Weit - 25 Jahre Afrika" live kommentiert.

The cinema film "Maleika" supports the initiative "Green Belt Botswana". Matto Barfuss launched 1998 the non-profit organization "Leben für Geparden / Life for Cheetahs" in Germany and 2015 the "Go wild Botswana Trust" in Botswana.
The Tropic of Capricorn extends for a distance of 500 km through the South of Botswana coined by austerity and bleakness. Humans and animals there are experts in survival.
"Green Belt Botswana" will plant a line of arid-resistant trees over a period of 10 years. This kind of landscape art will be revived by a wildlife-education program, aid against "human wildlife conflicts" and programs for the san people to integrate them in sustainable tourism. Of course, the focus is on Maleika‘s fellows as well.
The area is also the venue of another great cinema project of Matto Barfuss.
The initiative will be managed by the "Go wild Botswana Trust" in close collaboration with
