About the documentary
Duration: 81 minutes
Protecting the beautiful conservation areas of Mozambique requires courage, ability and passion. In Gorongosa National Park, a group of men and women have endured rigorous training to make their dream of becoming Rangers happen.
In this 80-minute feature-length documentary, we tell the inspiring story of Rangers who are chosen to proudly wear the uniform.
In Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, a team of 260 Rangers are "on the front line" to protect this beautiful conservation area from a host of threats such as poaching and illegal logging.
But Gorongosa has four hundred thousand hectares to protect - the Rangers urgently need additional reinforcements. Hundreds of candidates from local communities gather to participate in the intensive physical and mental examinations required to be considered eligible to become a Gorongosa Ranger, including female candidates, for the first time.
700 Participants applied for selection. And for the first time in the history of the Park, the women were able to sign up. But they will not receive any preferential treatment and will have to endure the same arduous selection process for 60 days, just like the men, to become fit and prepared for the work ahead.
