"Stormforce is the dramatic and true tale of one of Britain's rarest and most beautiful mammals, a bitch otter called Storm. Rescued from a windswept lane on Exmoor before dawn in winter by a postman, she weighed just one pound seven ounces. Stormforce is the remarkable story of her survival". "If there is anyone who can read the mind of an otter it is David Chaffe. During twenty years of making wildlife films I have not met anyone more enthusiastic or knowledgeable about our country's most endearing creature. This personal and touching story is simply delightful". (Nick Gordon, Wildlife film-maker).
