The people of south-western Uganda are forced to hunt pangolins for survival due to lack of a sustainable income.
One local man fights to save, not only the lives of the pangolins, but also the lives of his people.
This one-woman-crew, short documentary shares the raw, untold story of Moses Arineitwe. Known by locals as the "Pangolin Man", Moses strives to save the most illegally traded mammal in the world, hoping to change the minds of the very people who hunt them, through education and alternatives to poaching.
However, with a lack of funding and resources, Moses must find creative solutions to reach his goal.
