A film by Garth de Bruno Austin and John Banovich
The plight of African rhinos hangs in the balance as conservationists work to protect the rhino population from poachers. Rescued rhinos are rehabilitated at a rhino orphanage as authorities seek to take down Africa’s poaching kingpins.
The Last Horns of Africa offers rare, behind-the-scenes access to the front lines of the rhino poaching crisis. The film follows two conservationists—Petronel Nieuwoudt, who rescues and rehabilitates orphaned calves at the world’s largest rhino orphanage, and Don English, a veteran ranger leading anti-poaching efforts in Kruger National Park.
Interwoven with their stories is exclusive footage from South Africa’s biggest undercover wildlife investigation, exposing the brutal networks behind the illegal rhino horn trade. Intimate, urgent and unflinching, the documentary reveals the emotional toll and high-stakes battles of modern conservation.
