Trophy (15)

Documentary

This in-depth look into the powerhouse industries of big-game hunting, breeding and wildlife conservation in the U.S. and Africa unravels the complex consequences of treating animals as commodities.

The critical consensus

Well-conceived, thoughtful documentary that takes a complex look at big-game hunting.

****(*)Eddie Harrison, The List, 13/11/2017

The macabre ultra-luxury sport of ‘canned’ trophy hunting in Africa comes under unflinching scrutiny in a documentary to make your blood boil.

****(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 16/11/2017

A powerful film, but also sometimes very tough to watch.

Isobel Raphael, Little White Lies, 17/11/2017

An argument in favour of legalising big game hunting is undercut by the film’s own footage.

**(*)(*)(*)Simran Hans, The Observer, 19/11/2017

Miring the audience in emotive conflicts and moral contradictions, this compelling documentary offers no solutions to the conservation conundrum. But the debates it will spark will be impassioned and imperative.
