🦏 THE STORY

A war most people never see.
A hero the world must remember.

RHINO MAN is the true story of South African field rangers risking their lives to defend endangered rhinos from ruthless poaching syndicates.

At its heart is Anton Mzimba, a legendary ranger whose unwavering courage and leadership inspired a generation, putting him in the crosshairs of organized crime. As new recruits face the brutal demands of ranger training, the film builds toward a heartbreaking turning point that ignites a global call for justice and change.

With support from Prince William and Dr. Jane Goodall, RHINO MAN becomes a stirring tribute to Anton’s sacrifice and the rangers carrying his torch. It's a story of resilience, purpose, and the unbreakable spirit of those who refuse to stand by while our planet’s most iconic species are driven toward extinction.
