Do you have a kid or teen at home that's inspired by Greta Thunberg, enraptured by nature or intimidated by the realities of climate change? This strand is for them! They will learn about maternal elephants, indigenous people and their connection to the Earth, poaching and its consequences, the effects of mass urban migrations, the power of musical activism, and the incredible capacity for transformation that we all hold within ourselves. These are educational films, wholesome stories, & heartening voices curated for all the budding environmentalists out there! Suitable for ages 15 and under and for the whole family.
Mutinda was on Kenya’s most wanted list in the 80s and 90s. He was single handedly decimating the wildlife population in the Amboseli region, and Kenya Wildlife Service had a warrant out for his capture, dead or alive. His wife told him she was leaving him if he couldn’t find another job because she was scared he would be killed, and she couldn’t stick around to watch any longer.
But tracking and hunting was all Mutinda knew. His father was a poacher and had taught him well. Mutinda had a family to provide for, and felt that poaching was his only option for work. 18 years ago, he was presented with another option that would allow him to use his tracking skills for good.
