The Last Rhinos: A New Hope

The Last Rhino: A New Hope delivers a heartfelt and faith-tinged message about preservation and stewardship over God's creations. The documentary's central theme-that rhinos are on the brink of extinction and we have a responsibility to protect them-is powerful and timely.

That said, the film struggles in execution. Beyond the surface-level point that rhinos are endangered, the educational depth felt lacking. I wanted more facts, context, and practical insight into the problem and possible solutions, but instead the story leaned heavily on sentiment without substance.

The ending, too, felt abrupt and unfinished-almost as if half a documentary had been made and then simply cut short. Instead of concluding with hope or a call to action, it left me with the sense that something essential was missing.

In the end, while the message shines, the documentary doesn't quite fulfill its potential. It raises awareness, but without the depth and closure that could have made it truly impactful.
