What Trophy Is About

The documentary takes big-game hunting, breeding farms and wildlife conservation as one subject, listening to hunters in America and to rhino breeders in South Africa. Its nerve lies in letting the other side speak: John Hume, plainly attached to his rhinos, argues that legalising the trade in horn is the only thing that will save the species. Shaul Schwarz and Christina Clusiau neither endorse nor demolish that claim, leaving the audience with the uncomfortable question instead: does putting a price on an animal protect it, or does it turn the animal into stock? It premiered at Sundance in 2017, with North American rights going to The Orchard and broadcast rights to CNN Films, and it went on to an Emmy nomination.
