http://pbs.org/independentlens/milkingtherhino/ Everyone has seen a nature documentary with a ferocious kill on the Serengeti Plain. Well, here’s a different story about villagers navigating the dangers and costs of living with wildlife. After a century of “white man’s conservation,” the Maasai of Kenya and Namibia’s Himba people are vying to share a piece of the eco-tourism pie. But can they fulfill the expectations of Westerners without abandoning their native culture? In this clip, welcoming their first rhino, members of the community conservancy quickly get out of the way as the animal awakes from sedation. MILKING THE RHINO premieres Tuesday, April 7 on INDEPENDENT LENS, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide. Visit the Web site for more: http://pbs.org/independentlens/milkingtherhino/ less
