Saving Rhino Phila

1 x 52 mins

From deep within a bloody conflict emerges a powerful story of survival. A new breed of poachers have recently gone to war on South Africa’s rhino population and against all odds one rhino has survived the onslaught. Her name is Phila.

Phila’s story lures us into a world of organized crime and millionaire poachers armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, helicopters and night vision goggles. A host of offbeat characters are present too, from her owner and his shattered dreams to wildlife veterinarians arrested for poaching, crack police units and glamorous landowners lacing their rhino’s horns with poison.

It’s a rollercoaster ride complete with surprising twists and shocking turns in a battle that is not as simple as it first seems. And through all this Phila has become the symbol of hope, a single survivor in a war where the future of her species is hangs in the balance.
