“They can’t win.” That’s my 92-year old mother’s take on this outstanding, heartbreaking documentary.
A war against science and nature is being waged. Populations of elephants, rhinos and other animals are declining at rates that will wipe them out very soon. Humans who value ivory and horns are driving this cruel extinction.
This movie’s target market is anyone who has a heart and cares. Everyone should see this movie. Right now.
