Giving Flowers to Joanna Boateng for producing The Great Rhino Robbery, which is a docuseries about the journey into the dark heart of animal poaching and trafficking. At the centre of the story is rhino horn – a product made from the same substance as human fingernails – that becomes more valuable than gold and is touted as a ‘miracle cure’ for everything from hangovers to cancer.
With access to the criminals, the users and the investigators trying to save a species, this crime-meets-conservation boxset unpicks the astounding story behind why the rhino is facing extinction and tells the remarkable tale of the race to catch the people responsible – before it’s too late.
