Midnight Tails will take you on a journey through the jungles - both concrete and biotic! Find joy watching baboons splay themselves across the roots of ancient trees; learn what light pollution and thinning ice can do to ecosystems that thrive in Arctic darkness; explore rapid urbanisation and the lives it alters; meet one man saving the lives of not only the Pangolins in Uganda, but also the people who hunt them; and teleport to France - behind the cliff of Etretat, where in an almost lunar space, a blind man with seasoned hands hunts crabs and lobsters. Whether you are wild or domesticated, this strand is for you.
The people of south-western Uganda are forced to hunt pangolins for survival due to lack of a sustainable income.
One local man fights to save, not only the lives of the pangolins, but also the lives of his people.
This one-woman-crew, short documentary shares the raw, untold story of Moses Arineitwe. Known by locals as the "Pangolin Man", Moses strives to save the most illegally traded mammal in the world, hoping to change the minds of the very people who hunt them, through education and alternatives to poaching.
However, with a lack of funding and resources, Moses must find creative solutions to reach his goal...
