Despre acest film

Endangered African species like elephants, rhinos and lions march closer to extinction each year. Their devastating decline is fueled in part by a global desire to consume these majestic animals. TROPHY investigates the powerhouse industries of big-game hunting, breeding and wildlife conservation. Through the eyes of impassioned individuals who drive these industries – from a Texas-based trophy hunter to the world’s largest private rhino breeder in South Africa – the film grapples with the consequences of imposing economic value on animals. What are the implications of treating animals as commodities? Do breeding, farming and hunting offer some of the few remaining options to conserve our endangered animals? TROPHY will leave you debating what is right, what is wrong and what is necessary in order to save the great species of the world.

This documentary shows the mentality of people who hunts wild animals for whatever reason. Some reasons sound ridiculous. After watching this trophy-hunting documentary, I become more and more agreeing with those people who adopt vegan nowadays. Vegan-people are really good, nice and great human-beings.

The footage of animals being hunted is often difficult to watch, but it's a necessary part of the film's message. The documentary raises important questions about the ethics of trophy hunting and its impact on wildlife conservation. It's a film that will likely spark intense debate, but it's also one that will leave viewers with a lot to think about

The cinematography is stunning, capturing both the beauty of the African landscape and the raw emotion of the individuals involved in this complex issue. The interviews are candid and revealing, providing insight into the motivations and justifications of those who participate in and oppose trophy hunting.
