Guardians of the Earth - Documentary Short, USA

Texas Premiere!

In the wild heart of Kenya, ancient wisdom meets modern conservation in this powerful short documentary about indigenous protectors committed to saving Africa’s remaining wildlife and wilderness. 

We meet the men who have dedicated themselves as rangers, risking everything to defend wildlife from poaching. We listen to Maasai lion guardians, once lion hunters, now protectors who honor their ancestral bond to the land by safeguarding both people and predators. And we are given a glimpse into the lives of Samburu women, whose ancestral beadwork carries the stories of their identity, faith, and deep connection to nature. Together, their testimonies become a call to protect the earth—a reminder that conservation is, at its root, not only about saving animals, but about honoring the sacred connection between people, land, and all living beings.
