With the death of the last captive male, Sudan, the northern white rhinoceros was officially declared extinct in 2018. But in recent years, possible sightings from a remote region in the heart of Africa have given conservationists hope. Could this charismatic animal get a miraculous second chance? This film follows a dedicated international team of experts on an expedition to war-torn South Sudan in search of the northern white rhinoceros. An animal native to this unexplored and dangerous region in Africa, the team is taking a huge risk to realize the dream that a lost population of these incredible beasts still exist. The team comprise of Paul Naden, expedition leader and CEO of rhino rescue charity Saving the Survivors (STS), Vianet Djenguet, a highly skilled Congolese wildlife camera operator, Dr Johan Marais, the world-leading rhinoceros veterinarian and founder of Saving the Survivors, and Aldo Kane, a high security expert and former royal marine.
