RHINO MAN 96min
RHINO MAN is the true story of the courageous field rangers who risk their lives every day to protect South Africa's rhinos from being poached to extinction.
We follow Anton Mzimba, the head ranger of the Timbavati, as he protects the rhinos. He faces long deployments, dangerous working conditions, and constant threats to his life. Nearby, a legendary trainer, Ruben de Kock, struggles to inspire a group of 41 candidates, as he takes them through a rigorous ranger selection.
Tragedy strikes when Anton is assassinated at home by a poaching syndicate. Ruben laments the loss of his friend. Prince William and the international community cry out for justice. We're left with Anton's hopeful message, and the determination of the rangers who vow to carry his torch.
“RHINO MAN highlights the immense debt we owe to Rangers, the true heroes in our efforts to protect the world’s wildlife. Their courage and dedication is inspiring and will, I hope, encourage many to support their truly important work."
~ Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute & UN Messenger of Hope
“The murder of Anton Mzimba is a stark reminder of the daily dangers that all rangers face around the world protecting the natural world ... and I’m proud to see his life and legacy recognised in RHINO MAN."
– Prince William, The Prince of Wales and President of United for Wildlife
