The Women Who Stand Between

The Women Who Stand Between

Julia Wilde is one of the best wildlife cinematographers in the business. But while on location in southern Africa, she finds herself unfairly blamed for an accident that leaves several crew members dead. Blacklisted by the movie industry, she takes a job in the film department at a Midwestern university only to discover that tenure depends on her making a movie.

With a small crew of talented filmmaking friends in tow, Julia heads back to Zimbabwe to make a documentary about the Mambas, a fierce all-female anti-poaching unit who risk their lives every day to protect endangered species.

But as Julia soon learns, being behind the lens is no protection from poachers who will do whatever it takes to protect their business and keep this movie from seeing the light of day.
