TROPHY

Përshkrimi

Africa’s endangered species is big business. Heavily armed, American tourists on safari dream to shoot a lion, an elephant or one of the other ‘big five’, as idealistic environmentalists trying to protect. But the reality is incredibly more complex, is an unpleasant truth that the hardy ‘Trophy’ reveals a unique journalistic overview. Right from the first scene you have to repeatedly revise one’s own view of both big game hunting and patchy human morality.
