Team Lioness – Kenya's First Female Massai Rangers
This is the inspiring story about two women who fight for coexistence of humans and animals and gain their own personal independence in this process.
Leah and Purity are rangers. They track and protect the diverse wildlife that roams the Kenyan savannah of Amboseli National Park. As the women trek over 25km a day, they never know what animals they will encounter next. However, their work doesn't stop there. They are often called to mediate in conflicts between Massai villagers and wild animals. But the two women also have to face another battle, as they fight against discrimination as Massai women. Nevertheless, their dedication has earned them respect, and their work has made a significant impact by reducing the number of wildlife killings.
