Gilberto "Chito" Shedden found a crocodile dying on the banks of Costa Rica's Tárcoles River, nursed the animal back to health, and named him Pocho. What began as an act of rescue turned into a bond that lasted years, with Shedden entering the water to swim alongside, ride, and even embrace an animal capable of killing him in seconds. The film follows him through the routine that made him locally famous, feeding Pocho by hand and drawing crowds who come to watch a man treat a several-hundred-pound reptile like an old friend. Interviews with Shedden and people who witnessed the relationship firsthand fill in how it started and why he kept returning to the river long after most people would have stopped. Footage of the two together, in and out of the water, carries the film, and it stays with the strangeness of the bond rather than explaining it away. Pocho's story became a local legend in Costa Rica, and this is the record of the man who lived it.
