We have partnered with Pangolin Photo Safaris, Biggest Leaf Travel and award-winning South African filmmakers Bruce Young and Johan Vermeulen to produce a powerful, awareness raising film about the critical situation facing the African pangolin.
From the co-director of Blood Lions, this powerful documentary is the story of two men on a mission to get all four species of African pangolin on camera for the very first time. As they travel the continent to learn more about those caring for and studying pangolins they are captivated by these strange, secretive creatures and document the race to save them from being poached to extinction.

Here’s what our viewers say
An incredible film, the footage was beautifully shot and the information was amazing and heartbreaking.
I so enjoyed the film. A real eye-opener, gripping and emotive. And now I am totally in love with these ponderous, gorgeous critters.
It was a very moving film in the sense that what we are watching may be the last that we will see of the Pangolin in its natural habitat. So SAD
What an incredible movie! I do hope this film goes on to deservedly win a million awards and, more than that will help the pangolin survive
