Special Screening of Milking the Rhino, a film by David E. Simpson

Film

Tuesday, November 17, 2009 7:00 p.m.

Increased conservation efforts in Africa have created a revolution that is already disconnecting indigenous people from their land and livelihoods. Milking the Rhino chronicles this clash of cultures, offering complex, intimate stories that unveil the adversities faced by two pastoral cultures, the Maasai people in Kenya and the Himba people in Namibia, as they struggle to preserve their self determination and way of life. Members of the Penn State community interested in cultural awareness, tourism, global sustainability, and contemporary issues in Africa will find this film informative, engaging, and empowering.
