A true-life drama which follows one man's quest to help safeguard the future of the Cape buffalo. Lindsay Hunt, once a professional big game hunter holds the Cape buffalo in the highest regard and for good reason - they are notoriously unpredictable animals. We document his personal journey first hand from armed hunter, to gentle carer. As the story unravels, his unique and unprecedented interaction with these wild and extremely powerful animals becomes apparent. His ability to approach wild Cape buffalo is a remarkable feat and makes for captivating viewing. But this is not just a hobby - the Cape buffalo population in South Africa is facing an uncertain future, having contracted bovine tuberculosis. Hunt takes up the challenge to help preserve the precious gene pool of buffalo, and he uses his unique ability to get close to these daunting creatures to do this. His ability to be accepted by the buffalo helps him to start a breeding programme taking wild buffalo and breeding healthy young stock from them.
