Killing the Shepherd: Beyond the Film
Filmmaker Tom Opre spent over three years documenting a remote Zambian community led by a woman chief who took bold action against wildlife poaching to break the cycle of poverty.
For generations, the people lived off the land and partnered with the safari hunting industry, which funded wildlife protection and brought income. But after a hunting ban in 2001–2002, poaching gangs took over. In just 15 years, once-abundant wildlife—including Africa’s Big Five—was decimated. No outfitter would invest in an empty concession. The people faced hopelessness.
Then the chief found Roland Norton, a man with a lifelong dream of running a safari concession. Together, they forged an unusual partnership.
From 2017 to 2020, Opre captured the heartache, complexity, and success of their story.
Killing the Shepherd: Beyond the Film reveals what was left on the cutting room floor—raw, gritty stories of transformation, hope, and a model for helping rural Africa secure its human rights through wildlife conservation.
