Her mission? To find and reconnect with Bo, a mountain hare that has become more than just a subject for her lens—Bo is a companion in the wild, a symbol of resilience, and a link to the untamed beauty of Scotland’s remote wilderness.

The film not only follows Karen’s annual quest to find Bo but also explores her journey as a photographer—how she found herself drawn to the Scottish Highlands and, ultimately, to the threatened mountain hare. Her work goes beyond capturing images; it tells the stories of the creatures she encounters, offering a glimpse into their lives and the challenges they face in a rapidly changing environment.

As habitat loss and climate change continue to threaten Scotland’s wildlife, Finding Bo serves as a poignant reminder of the delicate balance between humans and nature. It’s a testament to the power of photography as a tool for conservation and connection, encouraging viewers to see the world through Karen’s eyes—where every creature has a story worth telling.
