THE LAST RANGER

SPECIAL SCREENING // PRESENTED BY THE SQUAD

Curated by Jordan Bayne

SYNOPSIS

A family living in the Eastern Cape struggles to make ends meet after the pandemic hits. When the father, Thabo leaves in the dead of night to find employment, his daughter, Litha decides to help. She heads to a nearby game reserve to sell wooden animals that her father has carved. Litha meets a local game ranger, Khuselwa, who informs he that due to the virus, the reserve is closed and there are no tourists. Litha’s plan is thwarted. As a consolation, Khuselwa invites the girl to join her on her daily routine through the game reserve. It’s the best day of Litha’s life. Khuselwa teaches Litha about her work while they watch three majestic rhinos grazing in the bush. Suddenly, the mother rhino, Thandi, charges off into the bush. Something is wrong. Khuselwa tells Litha to hide in the jeep as she grabs her gun and goes to investigate.
