So, if you can manage even a buck a show – your donation will fuel that work, and it even come with perks! Join Eyes on Conservation’s Matthew Podolksy in an interview with Jon Kasbe, director of the documentary “When Lions Become Lambs”, winner of the Tribeca Film Festival’s Best Editing award in a Documentary. Jon Kasbe spent much of his 20s in Kenya chronicling the lives and hardships of not only the rangers protecting endangered elephants in the region, but also the difficult decisions poachers make to support their families. Kasbe tells their stories with disciplined impartiality. However, viewers may struggle to remain emotionally unwavering as you are dropped into the shoes of a community bursting with complexities, each person doing what it must to survive.
