Narrated by Academy-Award nominee Tom Hardy: an audacious mission to save the critically endangered Black rhino, against impossible odds. With only 6,000 black rhinos left on earth, one dedicated wildlife ranger, Kiloku, has made it his life mission to protect the species against all odds. But now, hemmed in by ruthless bandits, the growing population at his sanctuary are running out of space. As the rhinos risk turning on each other in a deathmatch for territory, Kiloku embarks on a potentially mission: moving a group of the formidable herd to a new safe haven, 60 miles west.  Highlighting the daily struggles experienced by those risking their lives to protect biodiversity, whilst simultaneously giving voice to those on the other side of the armed conflict, this hard-hitting, authentic feature - crafted from four years of living and working alongside Kenya’s conservancy community - is both timely and urgent, as banditry violence spirals out of control, and the demand for illicit rhino horn climbs ever higher.
