Protectors of Upemba: Sizzle Reel
As a child soldier at the early age of 15, Major Fils endured the worst of his country while being forced into a Congolese militia. Nearly two decades later, he’s overcome an unimaginable past and is now helping to rebuild the Congo through conservation. Responsible for a team of nearly two hundred young rangers, Major Fils is on a mission to reclaim the lost areas of Upemba National Park from the hands of armed rebel groups and poachers. If the risk of catching a bullet in the crossfire isn’t enough, Fils is also fighting to hold on to his position as “Major” while corrupt senior officials attempt to replace him with a rubber-armed counterpart. If successful in securing the park, Major Fils will carve a path for scientists to replenish wildlife populations and restore the landscape for future generations...
