A remote community in Africa, led by a woman chief, attempts to break the stranglehold of absolute poverty by waging a war on wildlife poaching. For decades illegal wildlife poaching by both subsistence and bush meat gangs has led to the government declaring this community’s homeland “depleted” of wildlife. The chief finds help in the form of a safari operator and they work together to bring stability to the community. But all was not well. Disease, food stability, and rampant alcoholism hamper basic needs like health care and education. Even young girls, just after reaching puberty, are sold by their parents as child brides in order to feed their family for one year. Dark forces including South African land speculators, criminal poaching gangs, and her own people conspire against the chief. Even elements from the modern world work against the chief’s wishes. Will the chief and her community see success?

One man's battle to end wolf hunting in the States. Eco-activist Rod Coronado has made it his life’s mission to advocate for the planet and the rights of animals. In 2014, he formed Wolf Patrol, an activist group which fights to preserve the grey wolves which roam Wisconsin’s forests. After 30 years of radical environmental action that earned Coronado the label, "eco-terrorist", Operation Wolf Patrol follows Rod's journey to redefine his activism. As ‘hunter harassment’ laws strengthen the rights of hunters in the States, Coronado is forced to make a momentous choice: retain his own freedom, or risk prison to continue his quest to protect America’s wildlife.
