Synopsis

Colm Reid, a disillusioned journalist in Dublin, is invited by Norwegian conservationist Kennet Haven to cover a story in the remote Garamba National Park in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Colm joins Kennet, Kennet’s sister Jane, Belgian journalist Fatou Ba, and the rangers of Garamba on an expedition into the park to look for the last surviving wild northern white rhinos on the planet. Kennet neglected to mention one thing: the park is in the middle of a war zone.
