Wander Alone Is Now Live

Our award-winning documentary following a solitary journey and the story of the last two northern white rhinos.

Wander Alone chronicles the final chapter of the Northern White Rhinoceros, following Najin and Fatu—the last two living members of their species—after the death of Sudan, the last male, in 2018. Once native to Central Africa, the species was decimated by poaching, leaving these two females as the sole survivors, now protected at Kenya’s Ol Pejeta Conservancy.

Through intimate black-and-white cinematography, Wander Alone captures their quiet existence, unfolding over several weeks. The film delves into the themes of extinction, loneliness, and the fragility of life, as a meditative voiceover weaves together reflections from biology, psychology, and philosophy.

This film is more than a story of extinction—it’s a powerful exploration of isolation and the profound impact of human action on the natural world. Wander Alone offers a thought-provoking, visceral look at the cost of our modern disconnect with nature and the creatures we’ve pushed to the brink. by Justin Mott and Joey Bania
