'STROOP - journey into the rhino horn war' is the first film by Bonné de Bod and Susan Scott.

In this wildlife crime thriller, two first time filmmakers embed themselves
on the front-lines of the rhino poaching crisis where they are witness to the war unfolding.
Carving out six months to film, the women quickly find themselves
immersed in a world far larger and more dangerous than they had imagined,
only emerging from their odyssey four years later.
Gaining unprecedented access in Africa and revealing extraordinary undercover footage in Asia,
they capture the panorama of the global trade in rhino horn.
Winning 30 awards at 40 film festivals around the world, the film has become critically acclaimed.
