Courage Meets Conservation in the Last Horns of Africa on Documentary Showcase

LOS ANGELES - EntSun -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for Independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the gripping documentary The Last Horns of Africa on October 17, 2025.

DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.

Executive produced by John Banovich and directed by Garth de Bruno Austin, The Last Horns of Africa takes viewers to the heart of South Africa's rhino poaching crisis.

The film follows two leaders whose work offers hope against the threat of rhino extinction. South African wildlife activist Petronel Nieuwoudt operates the world's largest rhino orphanage, Care for Wild Rhino Sanctuary. Her team rescues and rehabilitates calves orphaned by poaching, preparing them for release into protected reserves. Don English, a senior ranger in Kruger National Park, directs anti-poaching patrols in one of the world's most heavily targeted habitats.
