With an alarming rate of over 150,000 elephants killed in the past five years for its ivory, and one elephant killed every 15 minutes, THE IVORY GAME documents the urgent plight of the African elephant and the human push toward its mass extinction, driven by a mass underground economy where a single kilogram of ivory can sell for $3,000 on the black market. With astonishing footage and a globe-spanning investigation, the film follows the work of wildlife activists, investigators and a Chinese journalist who risk their own lives to take down poachers in Africa and black marketeers in Asia, in a daring effort to save the last remaining elephants.
Directed by Kief Davidson and Richard Ladkani. DC Premiere. 116 MIN. 2016
