Skip it—this sounds like a nature documentary dressed up as a Bambi tie-in, and without real reviews to vouch for it, you're better off rewatching the animated classic or finding a genuinely acclaimed wildlife doc. The premise is interesting but the execution remains a mystery, so don't gamble your evening on it.
