Austrian provocateur Ulrich Seidl turns his camera to the controversial topic of trophy hunting. Following German and Austrian tourists through South Africa and Namibia as they stalk and hunt magnificent animals, Seidl brings us closer to the darkest depths of humanity than he ever has before. The film comes to the program of the Haifa Festival from its premiere in the Venice and Toronto Festival.
