"Black Mambas" are the first all-female anti-poaching unit in South Africa assigned to protect the Big Five (Elephants, Rhinos, Lions, Leopards, Buffalo) in the Greater Kruger Park. Chosen by the (mostly white male) conservation committees as a vital marketing tool, the women stand at the crossroads of progress and a colonial past.

Phuong Le Guardian Karbe’s documentary could have easily fallen into the trap of empty valorisation; in contrast, the film digs deep into the complex racial and class dynamics that are at play. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2022 Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International An astute, unshowy film... Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Vladan Petkovic Cineuropa Karbe's sober approach ensures that the crucial nuances of the complex topic stand out, as it is not possible to view any of them completely separately.
