Join African People & Wildlife (APW) for a special screening of "Sentinels of Engaruka," a new 30-minute nature documentary film exploring how Indigenous communities in northern Tanzania are working to live in balance with wildlife and manage habitat in one of the most rugged and beautiful landscapes on Earth.

Directed by Tanzanian filmmaker and National Geographic Explorer Hans Cosmas Ngoteya, the story invites reflection on the shared challenges of coexistence and corridor conservation—issues that resonate across Africa as well as the American West.

A Q&A will follow the film with both Hans and APW Co-founder/CEO Dr. Laly Lichtenfeld.

This public event is made possible thanks to partnership with the National Museum of Wildlife Art, whose mission is to impart knowledge and generate wonder through art and education.
