Milking the Rhino
(David E. Simpson, 2008, U.S., 83 minutes, DVD)
The Maasai of Kenya and the Himba in Namibia—among the world’s oldest cattle cultures—are struggling to preserve their traditional lifestyles in an age of wildlife conservation. Gorgeously shot, this intimate new documentary is an empathetic portrait of rural Africans who are at the forefront of community-based conservation. With director David E. Simpson in person.

Reeltime is jointly sponsored by the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, and the Evanston Public Library's Carlyle and Elizabeth Anderson Endowment Fund, in partnership with Reeltime Co-Directors Kathy Berger and Ines Sommer.
