BLACK MAMBAS
France, Germany, South Africa 2022 – Director: Lena Karbe – Original language: Other, Afrikaans, English – Subtitles: English, German – Length: 81 min.
Casting off traditional roles to take up the fight against poaching. The BLACK MAMBAS are an all-women group that protects endangered species from illegal hunting in Kruger National Park, South Africa. For them, the job represents self-determination and strength and the uncompromising desire to conserve their country’s fauna – but how far can their emancipation actually succeed?
