2009 · 85 min · Documentary · United States


## Synopsis

Milking the Rhino is a 2009 documentary film, produced by Kartemquin Films, that examines the relationship between the indigenous African wildlife, the villagers who live amongst this wildlife, and conservationists who look to keep tourism dollars coming in. Both the Maasai of Kenya and the Ovahimba of Namibia have spent centuries as cattle farmers. With their land being turned into protected game reserves, these ancient tribes have turned to tourism as a means of survival.
