Catching Giants (2018)
Catching Giants is a heart-stopping film that follows the world’s preeminent giraffe researcher, Dr. Francois Deacon, as he embarks on the most ambitious project of his career and perhaps the most ambitious project in giraffe conservation to date. On the rugged and untamed plains of South Africa’s Rooipoort Nature Reserve Dr. Deacon will set out to capture and GPS collar more than 20 giraffes, a project that will enable him to study these giraffes’ every move and behavior for the next year.
