saving rhino phila
From deep within a conflict emerges a powerful emotional story of survival. A
new breed of poachers has recently gone to war on South Africa’s rhino
population and against all odds; one rhino has survived their bullets. Her name is
Phila.
Phila’s story lures us into a world of organized crime and millionaire poachers,
armed to the teeth with automatic weapons, helicopters and night vision
goggles. A host of offbeat characters are drawn into Phila’s world: From her
owner and his shattered dreams to wildlife veterinarians arrested for poaching. Definition Episodes

It’s a rollercoaster ride complete with surprising twists in a conflict that is not as
simple as it seems on the surface. And Phila has inadvertently become the
symbol of hope in this war where the survival of her species is literally at stake.
