BLACK MAMBAS – SIMA Collection

Director(s): Lena Karbe
Producer(s): Lena Karbe, Jan Vasak and Ramadan Suleman

“Black Mambas” are the first all-female anti-poaching unit in South Africa assigned to protect the Big Five (Elephants, Rhinos, Lions, Leopards, Buffalo) in the Greater Kruger Park. Chosen by the (mostly white male) conservation committees as a vital marketing tool, the women stand at the crossroads of progress and a colonial past.
