Sudan, the last male northern white rhino existing in the world, doesn’t have much time. For his own safety, Sudan doesn’t roam free in the wild, given that his horns are worth more than gold in foreign markets, and poachers are the reason for his species’ devastating demise. Instead, Sudan receives around-the-clock care and protection at the Ol Pejeta Conservancy, a wildlife refuge in Kenya. James, JoJo, and Jacob, his three main caretakers who live on-site with him, have dedicated their lives to Sudan, along with the last two remaining females—Sudan’s daughter, Najin, and granddaughter, Fatu. Sadly, Sudan’s health is failing, and the men know it’s only a matter of time for their dear friend. A documentary that gives up-close access to one of Mother Nature’s most majestic creatures, KIFARU exposes an infuriating look at what extinction truly looks like at the hands of human greed. Unless science can pull off a miracle, we will soon bid a sorrowful farewell to the northern white rhino. (In English and Swahili with subtitles) —A.B.
