“Between the Great Plains: My Story as a Young Ambitious Masai Man” tells the journey of a young Maasai leader dedicated to conservation in the Maasai Mara. Growing up with a strong sense of responsibility to his community, he found his purpose in 2017 when he co-founded Conserve Masai Mara—a youth-led initiative to protect wildlife and the environment.
Through personal experiences and a shared vision with like-minded individuals, the documentary highlights the power of community-driven conservation. It explores the urgent need for peaceful coexistence between humans and wildlife, addressing challenges such as habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict. Ultimately, the film is a call to action: to protect the magical Masai Mara for future generations.
