Kaziranga explores the battle between poachers and conservationists in Kaziranga Park, the last stronghold for the endangered Indian rhino. We see this world through the eyes of Uttam Saikia, a local journalist who is trying to use his community influence to reform poachers. Kaziranga’ is a powerful portrayal of how human empathy is an effective strategy for reforming rhino poachers. It shows us how a single person’s compassion and actions can help break the cycles of violence that ensnare our most majestic wildlife and a region’s most economically vulnerable people.
