Just watched this, it's only 40 minutes long and can be watched on Netflix. It's a beautifully directed film set in Namibia. Highly recomend watching! 
The film covers some interesting points such as; the distinction between owning the land or being apart of the lands natural rhythm.
Before Europeans dominated Africa tribes hunted in small amounts for food on the land they shared with 'Giants'. A sustainable lifestyle.

Once Europeans arrived they shared there mentality with the people of Africa. More for more money an different and unsustainable lifestyle.
Now we see crime syndicates poaching the animals we doomed with our presence and mindset.

Now the Europeans are trying to fix this issue, but once ivory and other parts of endangered species was in demand and worth a lot of money. A chain of unbreakable issues was forged.
In the movie Khata is introduced as a 'man of the house' type figure who goes out and works long hours. Until he fall upon the opertunity to make more money and change his situation. All he had to do is get his hands dirty. He became a poacher for independent need.
The aim of the movie is to change the mindset of people towards poachers. From heartless to choiceless.
However sometimes I don't think its that simple. Not all poachers are kind hearted like Khata is in the movie. That is the crippling reality.
