The Last Male on Earth

In March 2018, the last male northern white rhino remaining on earth died. His name was Sudan, and after 42 years on this planet he had lived his life - and that of his species - to the very end. The documentary The Last Male on Earth shows his last years on earth, in which he was not alone. From the time he became the last one, armed bodyguards protected him, tourists queued to have their photo taken with him and journalists rushed to Kenya to tell his story. Even now, scientists are still determined to find a way to reproduce  his species.

Raf de Bont, PhD, will give an introduction to the film on the history of extinction.

In cooperation with Lumière Cinema.
