Overview
In a riveting, eight-year journey into the heart of Sumatra’s Leuser Ecosystem — a 2.6-million-hectare rainforest where tigers, elephants, rhinos and orangutans still roam free — a group of wildlife activists work to save the wilderness from the devastation of the illegal palm oil industry. Filmed by a dedicated, mostly Indonesian crew, this investigative documentary captures dramatic animal rescues and high-stakes arrests of poachers, as well as the reforestation of thousands of hectares. The Last Place on Earth reveals the power of grassroots activism in the face of overwhelming odds and the urgent need to protect our planet’s most irreplaceable treasures before it’s too late.
