The Last Ranger

The last remaining ranger of Amakhala Game Reserve Eastern Cape, South Africa, is the strong-willed and fearless Khuselwa, who works alongside Robert to protect the wildlife. Though they are struggling with funds due to the pandemic’s effect on tourism, Khuselwa is passionate about her role. One day she encounters her friend Litha, a young Xhosa girl, who is on her way to sell souvenirs. Litha joins Khuselwa for a ride through the reserve, introducing her to a pair of rhinos, including Thandi, who Khuselwa has a special bond with. She admits to Litha that she considers the animals to be her family.
 
However, three poachers descend on the rhinos, intent on removing their horns with a chainsaw. Thandi is tranquilized, and though Robert (who is repairing a fence elsewhere) urges Khuselwa to not confront the poachers alone, she is unable to stand by and orders Litha to stay in the jeep as she fights the poachers. Though she manages to wound one with a rifle, the other shoots her in the stomach, mortally wounding her. Her attacker is taken out by the guilt-ridden poacher with the tranquilizer, but the other poacher manages to remove Thandi’s horn and escape.
 
Litha leaves the jeep and encounters the dying Khuselwa, tearfully begging her to survive. Khuselwa reminds her to rely on her strength and “stay wild.” As Litha approaches the injured Thandi, the remaining poacher steps out, and is revealed to be her own father. A devastated Litha accuses him of killing Khuselwa and Thandi. However, her father manages to talk her down and apologizes for his role in the incident. Robert finally arrives, and upon seeing the injured Thandi, asks for Litha’s help.
 
Some time later, Litha is working with Rob as a ranger. It is revealed that Thandi was successfully saved, and she has a calf named after Khuselwa. An epilogue reveals that Thandi’s story is true; she had been saved by multiple surgeries and went on to have many calves, and is currently still alive and protected. However, poachers have killed over 100,000 rhinos and 1,000 rangers while trafficking rhino horns.
