Allowing those on the ground to share their lived experiences of a struggling coexistence between wildlife and people, this striking documentary gives voice to both sides of the animal conservation versus human preservation debate, bringing to the forefront a story in urgent need of telling.
Pressing, visceral and insightful, this documentary expertly brings insight, clarity and solutions to a crisis-level global issue.
