‘The Last Ranger’ Tells True Story Of Fight To Save Rhinos In South Africa: “We Had Something Special” – Contenders Film: The Nominees
'The Last Ranger' tells the story of a girl, a game warden and a rhino named Thandi, in a short film up for an Oscar.
The Last Ranger tells the true story of Thandi, a rhino that survived a brutal attack, and the people who fought to save her life. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Amakhala Game Reserve in South Africa, Kushelwa (Avumile Qongqo) is the last remaining ranger, and the Cindy Lee-directed movie nominated for an Oscar in the Live Action Short Film category follows her and her young, would-be protégé Litha (Liyabona Mroqoza) as they are caught up in the rhino-poaching crisis. Six Feet Films producer and co-writer Darwin Shaw explained that the idea of telling this story first came from a meeting with Lee’s brother David, who had gone to school with the veterinarian who saved Thandi’s life after she was left for dead by poachers.
