Lion Spy (2021)
Misinformed woman making a film
While I don't like killing a lion for example, I cannot agree with this lady. I worked in the wildlife industry and trophy hunting in most cases does indeed fund conservation. The reality is that if the animals cease to exist they cannot be hunted, that is why the money goes back into breeding, breeding to be hunted I suppose. There will always be hunters and there will always be tourists. You will always have both. I for one will not be judged by people who cannot even device what gender they are. Africa is not a poor continent, it is in fact the richest continent. It has aways bee exploited and been run by corrupt people. Fix the corruption and everyone will be happy.
The Recce (2018)
Don't waste your time - very dissapointing
I had high hopes for a movie about the South African border war. This movie was so far from factual that I barely watched it to the end. This is a communist propaganda film that depicts the South African military fighting against communism as the bad guys. It also shows that the most elite military unit of the South African military to be poorly trained, which is very far from the truth. The Recce units were the best in the world, yes even better than the SEAL teams of that time and probably could compare to today's SEAL team and their training. The film shows that the military did not care about its elite units (untrue) and that the military and their families did not know why they are fighting - very untrue. This film could also not get dates correct as well as military ranks. Although this film is not based on any true events it is the worst depiction of the African Military I could ever see and somehow shows the communists to be heroes. In the end I guess the world will always see the white Afrikaner as the bad guy because of the apartheid regime even though they were fighting the same enemy as the western world. I think the ANC government sponsored the creation of this film and directed it. Shameful!
