A question and answer series by VoyageLA included our Founder this month! Want to know a little more about Kerry, a filmmaker and philanthropist?
2020 has not opened well for either mankind or our wildlife. But we have time and we have the stamina to turn it around.
We’ve a few exciting screenings of our film Breaking Their Silence: Women on the Frontline of the Poaching War that we’re not able to announce right now - and we have some that we can announce and you can find them here.
It’s been an adventure from start to finish to not only meet and film the women working diligently to protect Africa’s wildlife from the thugs who rape and pillage from Africa’s greatest assets but to now be able to direct funds to the work they do! That’s all thanks to YOUR donations! We want to go even bigger and better in 2020!
Just a quick update to share that we went back to South Africa and added Rwanda, Vietnam, Kenya, Massi Mara, Seattle and New York to our schedule. We have just released our first introduction piece to Breaking Their Silence which you can watch here on Over and Above Africa or on our sister site, Breaking Their Silence. While we knew we would be meeting phenomenal women who quietly go about their courageous work, we could never have predicted just how open, honest and trusting they were with us in revealing their stories. We can’t wait to bring this film to you early next year!
We are so very excited to share that we spent March and April in South Africa, Swaziland and Kenya filming "Breaking Their Silence: Women on the Frontline of the Poaching War."
We are now halfway through filming and at the end of June will head to Uganda, Rwanda and China to complete filming these courageous women who are dedicating their lives to preventing Africa's wildlife from extinction. We can't wait for you to meet them!
As Dame Jane Goodall says, There is still hope if we all work together now!

Great piece from our friends at The Australian Rhino Project about the amazing team at Saving the Survivors!
Killing large predators to reduce livestock conflicts or benefit game populations has long been thought to be ineffective — and devastating for ecosystems — and a growing body of scientific literature criticizing the widespread practice is confirming those fears.
We love this inspirational clip from The Dodo about the heroes that risk their lives for animals everyday!
