BLACK MAMBAS
Location
About
A documentary about South Africa’s first all-female anti-poaching unit in Kruger National Park.
The Black Mambas were formed in 2013 at the peak of the Kruger National Park’s rhino poaching crisis, to protect the park and conserve its wildlife. The documentary portrays South Africa’s first all-female anti-poaching unit, and the sexism, danger and enduring colonial structures they confront.
This event is organised by the Red Hearth team, as an annual fundraiser for the summer gathering in June and an opportunity to come together and discuss themes around woman and sisterhood. The documentary will be followed by a live Q&A with film director Lena Karbe.
