MILKING THE RHINO
Nope, it’s not the latest local band to the hit scene – but it is an artistic endeavor even more important. Milking The Rhino is a documentary film that tells the story of community-based conservation in Africa, a movement that aims to balance the needs of wildlife and people.
The Maasai of Kenya and the Himba in Namibia - two of the oldest cattle cultures on earth - are beginning to see that wildlife conservation can rival the benefits of livestock. But not all community members embrace the changes. Shot in some of the world's most magnificent locales, Milking The Rhino offers complex, intimate portraits of rural Africans navigating the high stakes challenges of community-based conservation.
Directed and produced by David E. Simpson with Chicago-based Kartemquin Films, Milking The Rhino has already received critical acclaim. The film will be screened as part of the Chicago Humanities Festival at 3pm on November 2 the Claudia Cassidy Theatre at the Chicago Cultural Center. Don’t miss it!
