“a quietly stunning call-to-arms” – Jezebel”[A] powerful, urgent documentary” – Screen Daily
As the single-digit population of Northern White Rhinoceros ticks closer to zero, The Last Animals investigates the current epidemic of highly effective poaching and trafficking syndicates, drawing startling connections between the illegal wildlife trade and international terrorism and border security.
But all is not yet lost – at the same time, the film documents the heroic efforts of conservationists, park rangers, and scientists to protect these animals on the verge of extinction in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The result is a potent plea for worldwide attention and action to combat the permanent loss of these majestic creatures.
