Although one may think that hunting rhinos in Africa does not apply in polish society, Polish haunters hold the record of importing rhino horns from South Africa. What’s interesting that those valuable trophies were usually missing just after their shipment to Poland. Investigators wanted to examine this occurrence. What did they find? Is it possible for the dog to eat the rhino horn? What is the connection between polish pseudo-haunters and the Vietnamese mafia?
The film by Ewa Galica shows images and video from those hunts. A Polish taxidermist, Vietnamese traders, a Thai accomplice, a Laotian mafia leader, and prostitutes are among the Documentary's antagonists. However, those who are battling to rescue this species are the true heroes. Film crew got unique footage of rhinos in South Africa. Documentary was filmed in South Africa, the Czech Republic, and Poland.
