No, that`s not prison lingo. This 2008 movie from Kartemquin films produced and directed by David E. Simpson, is an examination of the emerging face of community based wildlife conservancy in post-colonial Africa. Addressing head-on the myth of "wild Africa" this is a some what harsh movie, probably a bit too bloody for little kids. It is a penetrating look at the benefits and consequences of wildlife conservancy, from the point of view of the people living day to day with large wild animals.
Centered mainly on the Himba of Namibia and the Maasai of Kenya, this is a look at their experiences with Western-style game reserves and eco-lodges and the impacts they`ve had on the local inhabitants. Actually a pretty good (though not a very rose-colored) short vacation to Africa. No shots necessary.
