Director Statement

This film represents the greatest endeavor of my life, I completely believe in the need for this to break into the world. Anyone who has any interest in conservation and in the efforts to preserve a endangered species should be interested in seeing this film.
Some elements in this film are lightly to be revealed for the first time ever to the public, some confessions and and chocking statements regarding the ugly world of poaching and anti-poaching are made and were specifically confided to me.
Craig Spencer is an absolute genius and a genuine authority in all things nature and conservation. He was very generous with his time and his devotion to this project.

It was a joy to shoot with this small group of people and we have now brought to light a cause of immense value.
