Bloody Ivory (African Environmental Film Foundation)
Produced in the 1970s, nominated for a BAFTA (Best Documentary), and at the time dubbed "The greatest wildlife film ever" by the BBC, this dramatic film records the struggle in Kenya's Tsavo National Park to protect elephants from bow and arrow hunters supplying a rampant international ivory trade.
Seven years in the making, this remarkable film by Simon Trevor has now been licensed to the African Environmental Film Foundation for educational purposes.
The film follows Tsavo's Warden, the late David Sheldrick, and his ranger force in their daily fight against armed poachers intent on wiping out Tsavo's magnificent elephant herds and its dwindling population of Black Rhinos. We also follow the story of the baby elephants, rhino and other animals that have been orphaned due to poaching, and watch them as they are hand-reared and eventually return to the wild.
Poster's note: The African Environmental Film Foundation's DVD's can be purchased at Amazon.com for $20.00 for home use; educational use DVD's are at a higher rate. AEFF will be coming out with an additional 10 DVD's in the near future.
