The Edge of Existence (2020)
Filmed in Tanzania over three years, documentary The Edge of Existence takes viewers into the heart of the growing human-wildlife conflict in the western corridor of the Serengeti. Named Best Humans and Nature Film at the 2020 Wildlife Conservation Film Festival, The Edge of Existence is directed by South Africans James Suter and Charlie Luckock.
While the urgent need for conservation has been widely publicised, there’s been less awareness about its cost to the neighbouring communities, from farms getting trampled just before harvest to livestock – and even humans – being killed by predators. As The Guardian said in their review, “If you thought your commute was stressful, imagine sharing it with an elephant herd.”
