If I had to choose one word - IMPACT! This film is mind-blowing, eye-opening, inspiring, captivating, gripping and... I just cannot talk it up enough! This is that type of film that you watch and when the credits are long gone, you find yourself still sitting there, processing it.
The filmmakers found the golden balance where it is not gory and overly brutal but certainly NO sugar-coating here!
This ''silent war'' has been raging for years and the majority of the public, had no idea.
Anton Mzimba was a true hero and like many other rangers gave the ultimate sacrifice for others to live, I cannot imagine a better honour of his and other rangers' legacy than RHINO MAN!
And the African landscape combined with the amazing music in RHINO MAN is truly breathtaking!
After seeing it last year, 11 months later I still talk about it and recommend it to others to watch!

Best documentary I have ever seen on the Rangers in South Africa and the rhinos very informative loved it can watch it over and over!! It was amazing!! I love the music watching the wild life, and it was very interesting how the Rangers were picked!!! It was so interesting to watch how the Rangers learned how to protect the rhinos in the hard work they put in to do this. I can't even imagine what they must go through on a daily basis I commend them for all their hard work! The scenery was beautiful. It makes me want to go to Africa and visit hope to see more in the near future these documentaries are the best way for people that are living in the US to see what goes on with the wildlife.
Loved watching RHINO MAN the Movie on the day it was released, July 26 2024.
The story of wildlife rangers is such an important story in society today, and it's one that's so often overlooked. The film does a great job of showing the grit and determination it takes to become a ranger, as well as the risks and rewards that come along with it. In the United States, it's so easy to feel disconnected from the global poaching crisis - but this film makes it hit home in a way unlike I've watched before. Now, I can only hope the message, story and legacy of Anton Mzimba live on via this film.
Doing nothing is surely not an answer in the fight against poaching. Chills! A true must watch.

I watched this film on an air Canada flight returning from Japan. I was hesitant to watch this film as I am sensitive towards animals and did not want to watch a film depicting animal cruelty.
I am grateful to the director and producers of this film for being brave enough to make Rhino Man. It is an eye opener in terms of the importance and the challenges for South African park rangers endeavouring to protect the remaining rhinos from poachers.
This film is sensitive and educational. I was so moved by the film that I donated to the cause immediately after watching this moving documentary.
I plan on visiting South Africa in the near future and I will make it a point to visit the park depicted in this film. .
