A unique eco-thriller, and story of resilience and victory in the fight to protect our natural world, narrated by Academy Award-Nominee Tom Hardy.
With only 6000 black rhinos left on earth, one dedicated wildlife ranger, Kiloku, has made it his life mission to protect the species against all odds. With around 5% of the global population being poached each year, Kiloku’s team in Kenya has not lost a single rhino in nearly 10 years… A remarkable achievement, but one that does not come without consequences. They are running out of space. Hemmed in by ruthless bandits, the rhinos at his sanctuary risk turning on each other in a deathmatch for territory.
With the help of a recently qualified ranger named Rita, the pair launch an audacious plan to move a group of the formidable herd to a new safe haven, 60 miles west. A potentially deadly mission, but one that the team are willing to risk their lives for in order to launch a new population, and further Kenya’s incredible ongoing conservation efforts.
Highlighting the daily struggles experienced by those risking their lives to protect biodiversity, whilst simultaneously giving voice to those on the other side of the armed conflict, this hard-hitting, authentic feature - crafted from four years of living and working alongside Kenya’s conservancy community - is both timely and urgent, as banditry violence spirals out of control, and the demand for illicit rhino horn climbs ever higher.

THE MARBLES is a compelling new documentary examining one of history's most controversial cultural disputes—the removal of the Parthenon Marbles—and the ongoing campaign to return them to Greece. From imperial acquisition to modern-day advocacy, this is the story of heritage, identity, and justice.
In 1801, Lord Elgin controversially removed half the Parthenon's sculptures, sparking a backlash from his contemporaries that continues today. What followed was a 200-year diplomatic battle between Greece and Britain over cultural patrimony. When respected actress and politician Melina Mercouri challenged the British Museum in 1983, she transformed the issue into an international cause that redefined how we think about cultural ownership.
This thoughtful documentary, filmed over five years starting on the 200th anniversary of Greek independence, reveals the complexities of museum ethics, cultural policy, and the competing claims surrounding ancient artefacts. From Athens to London, it’s a tale of empire, resistance, and redemption—with Scotland emerging as an unlikely hero.
The debate continues to evolve, raising fundamental questions about the rightful ownership of ancient treasures. The question isn't just about marble sculptures—it's about how we value and preserve cultural heritage in a post-colonial world.
