Askari

The narrative follows Askari, the last of his family group, as he grapples with the aftermath of a government cull that wiped out his herd. The film delves into the moral dilemmas faced by characters like Patrick Khumalo, a corrupt official, and Ribshaw, a poacher, while also highlighting the efforts of game warden Joss Mckinley and his wife Paula, who are dedicated to protecting the elephants.

Emma Crawshay, the niece of Joss and Paula, arrives at the game park after becoming orphaned. Initially feeling out of place, she finds a connection to her surroundings and the elephants, particularly a calf named Ollie. Askari's journey and Emma's growth intertwine as they face challenges posed by poachers and the harsh realities of wildlife management.

This film is available on VHS, making it a notable item for collectors interested in wildlife narratives and family dramas from the early 2000s. Its themes of conservation and the struggle against poaching are especially relevant for those who appreciate stories about nature and animal welfare.
