With the people of south-western Uganda forced to hunt pangolins for survival due to a lack of income, one local man fights to save not only the lives of the pangolins, but the very people themselves.


This one-woman-crew, short documentary tells 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 the use of education and alternatives to poaching. But, with a lack of funding and resources, Moses must overcome his own struggles, in order to achieve his goal.
