The Ivory Game Reviews
the most glued to the screen i have been for a doco
An important doco that doesn't pretend to know all the answers and shines a light on to what is a cruel and greedy industry.
A good doc re the ivory trade. It's sad to see animals being killed for monetary gain. You have to be some kind of psycho to be able to do that.
Great stuff. It starts a bit slow but picks up shortly after the film begins. Very informative and entertaining . Highly recommend.
Well rounded documentary that covers off both the poaching, and trading aspects. Quite a lot of characters though in the story results in a lot of repetition, perhaps more impactful if they'd gone for a more focused 60 minute documentary.
With a powerful message. And an extraordinary cinematography, this documentary is one heck of a jewel that needs to be seen to reflex and to analize af what we're doing to our wild life, specially the elephants. Hope it gets nominated for this year academy award on the documentary feature category. 5/5
Excellent camera work, good documentary story telling and an inside look at the continuing horror typical of society's disregard for wildlife, and the few heroic activists taking on the challenge for us all.
Stop buying ivory!!!
Eye-opening! I didn't realize that poaching was still such a huge problem, and how it was on the rise recently. This film tells a great story, and has an uplifting ending. We gotta get China to stop buying ivory products! Watched on Netflix at Sam's house with her, November 13, 2016.
11/12/16 Netflix A terrific documentary with many facets that needs to be told. Kudos to Netflix for backing this project. It is a disturbing, ugly and anger inducing film that exposes the assholes who are poachers, traders, dealers and buyers of African ivory. It is encouraging and positive as it shows the Park Rangers who are courageous enough to take on the poachers, the investigators who are creative and hard working enough to root out the illegal trade and it is heartwarming and educational as you learn of the elephant culture. Lastly it does not show the carnage upclose. Hopefully, this will help save even a few of the dwindling number of these magnificent animals.
