Wild Zambezi is a new series documenting the fight to protect one of Africa’s most precious natural treasures. Our first project is an 8-part documentary series, which shines a raw and colourful spotlight on the Lower Zambezi National Park in Zambia, and the biggest threat the park has ever faced, setting a terrifying precedent for all of Africa’s National Parks and protected wilderness areas.

Wild Zambezi:
THE STORY

The battle for our world’s last nature strongholds has begun

Wild Zambezi is a documentary series that showcases the conservation efforts in Lower Zambezi National Park and its surrounding Game Management Areas, but the proposed Kangaluwi Copper Mine by Mwembeshi Resources Ltd threatens the park and its conservation efforts, as well as wildlife across Africa. The series highlights the LZ REDD+ project and its sustainable alternatives for local communities. The ecosystem and its components are interconnected, and this series aims to engage international audiences to understand the fragility of the park and the need to protect it.

The 48-minute, 8 episode series “Wild Zambezi” highlights the conservation efforts in the Lower Zambezi National Park and its surrounding Game Management Areas.
The series focuses on the positive impact of education, training, and sustainable livelihood projects on local communities, supported by Conservation Lower Zambezi, BCP’s REDD+ project, and other organizations.
The proposed Kangaluwi Copper Mine by Mwembeshi Resources Ltd is a threat to the park and its conservation efforts, as well as the Mpanshye Wildlife Corridor and wildlife across Africa.
The root cause of deforestation is tied to economic and social disparities, but sustainable alternatives through the LZ REDD+ project and its livelihood programs, such as Eco-Charcoal and Sustainable Beekeeping, are provided to communities.
The LZ REDD+ project has been verified 9 times and protects over 565,102 trees, benefiting 36,000 households.
The ecosystem and its components, including humans, are interconnected, and the destruction of one element will have a domino effect.
The series aims to emotionally engage international audiences to fall in love with the park and understand the need to protect it, as the future of all African National Parks hangs in the balance.

THE PROJECT

A documentary series highlighting the threat to Africa’s last wilderness areas that sets a precedent for our future.

Directed by Daron Chatz & Grace Harrison

As a team we are in a unique position to tell this story. Our Co-Directors, Daron Chatz and Grace Harrison, have been working together for 10 years, and each bring their own skills and value to the project. Grace has been going to the Lower Zambezi National Park for 20 years and has a deep connection with the place, and its people. She also comes from a family with a history in Copper Mining, which gives her a diverse and unique perspective.

We believe this series will appeal to wide global audience. We want it to reach as broad an audience as possible. We will donate a percentage of the project revenue to Conservation Lower Zambezi.

We completed principal photography by the end of October, 2022.

We want to take this series to market as soon as possible as the park’s plight is real and urgent.

This is the moment in history where the future of all wilderness parks is decided.
