SynopsisA ferocious kill on the Serengeti; warnings about endangered species; these cliches of nature documentaries ignore a key landscape feature: the villagers just off-camera, who navigate the dangers and costs of living with wildlife. The Maasai of Kenya and Namibia's Himba, two of Earth's oldest cattle cultures, are in the midst of upheaval. After a century of 'white man conservation,' which displaced them and fueled resentment towards wildlife, they are vying to share the wildlife-tourism pie. Community-based conservation, which tries to balance the needs of wildlife and people, has been touted as 'win-win.' The reality is more complex. Charting the collision of ancient ways with Western expectations, MILKING THE RHINO tells intimate, hopeful and heartbreaking stories of people facing deep cultural change. Film NotesThis film screens as an Official Selection in the Documentary category and is part of the Explorations: Africa program. This film is in competition. The filmmaker is expected to be present afterward for a Q & A session. |
