Yet another exposé into the depths of greed, ignorance, materialism and woefully untrue myths of the most disgusting species on the planet...the Human Race!
Yet the reviewer twisterwaldo-11321 says that it failed to be more exposing by only scratching the surface. If they consider the image of a suffocating dying Rhinoceros, with half its face hacked off and blood pouring from its wound, not to be in depth enough to hit home the message of this program then, he/she is without doubt an incredibly numb-nut stupid human being.
There was no need to go into an in depth telling of a story that has been told over and over again. The saying, "Every picture tells a story" was put to perfect effect with the excellent editing of this documentary. It got the whole poaching disgrace dead for rights; pun intended! When you see an adult man (Nuno Jobe) breaking down in tears on camera (in front of the entire world) because he just cannot comprehend why humanity is so cruel, greedy, materialistic and uncaring, is that not more than just scratching the surface. I felt for him very much because I was medically diagnosed with exactly the same condition as he suffers from; it was due to the 'Social Agoraphobic' condition (a prognosis descriptive name that my doctor pulled out of the hat to describe my feelings/actions toward human beings and life; nowadays it is known as, "Comorbidity."). I felt the same way when I saw the senseless mass murder of whales and, again when I saw the wholesale slaughter of Dolphins in a documentary called "The Cove". Both atrocities carried out by Japanese fishermen!
What is it in particularly that makes Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese (Asian countries in general in many ways) intent on making animal species extinct and in such barbaric and cruel actions?
It is currently September 2021. But we are told that unless this Rhinoceros slaughter for their Horns (which are entirely made of hair with no medicinal use whatsoever...and that is fact) is not stopped then, by 2025, there will not be a single Rhino left alive!
If you have an ounce of feeling for anything other than yourself, get the hell off your backsides and actually do something with your life to make a a valuable contribution to the well-being/wellness of another species!
Plot summary
"This is not about them. It is about us as humans." - Nunu Jobe Yet another of the planet's species is in danger of extinction: the rhinoceros. Vestige follows some of the last remaining, protected in Kruger National Park, South Africa from the onslaught of poachers. Rhinoceros are of particular value for their horns, in demand by Asian business elites as a symbol of wealth. The documentary utilises an impressive range of interview footage to show the people who risk their lives on a daily basis protecting this collapsing species. We follow a Zulu bush tracker; the world's largest private rhino owner; a front-line anti-poaching unit; and a veterinarian heading dehorning programmes in order to remove the hunting incentive of poachers. Vestige is an honest depiction of the ongoing battle to save the rhinos, and tells their story within the greater framework of human philosophy. As well as short-term solutions, if we are to save the planet we must also tackle the deeply ingrained problem of human greed. Humans need to be reminded that they are part of the whole picture, and not distinctly separate from other species. The tale of rhinos can give a message to the world.

The Only Way To Have An Unspoiled Cruelty Free Environment On Earth Is To Make Humanity Extinct!
Documentary ?
Was not really educational. Im certain everyone knows the issue with the animals in wild. Did not really open the topic just scratch of the surface. Just as documentary lover would have made everything differently.
