In this hard-hitting but inspiring documentary, filmmaker David E. Simpson looks at the dark side of
conservation—efforts that have displaced indigenous peoples, banned subsistence hunting, and fueled
resentment. This film shows alternative solutions, including community-based conservation, which has
been practiced by the Maasai and Himba peoples of Kenya and Namibia for over 30 years, turning former
poachers into protectors of wildlife. The screening will be followed by a discussion with Simpson.

Presented as part of the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital.
