The Last Male on Earth (2019)
The last male specimen of a rare rhinoceros is surrounded by a human tragicomedy. There is only one male northern white rhino left in the world, and his days are numbered. His name is Sudan, and after 42 years on this planet he has lived his - and his species' - life to the very end. Protected from poachers by armed bodyguards around the clock, but also surrounded by journalists, tourists with selfie sticks, and scientists who are determined to find a way to reproduce him before it's too late. A difficult topic served in a light and elegant, but serious form.
