Two first-time filmmakers explore the war for rhino horn. Initially setting out on a six-month project, the duo leave their jobs, sell their homes, move in with their mothers and give up nearly four years of their lives to document not just the rhinos but the various people connected to this iconic animal.

Officially selected for nearly twenty film festivals and playing to sold-out cinema screenings, the film has also won critical acclaim.
