Pull the Thread: The Wild Life

The tale of an international crisis that involves the poaching, smuggling, and illegal trade of protected species. The Wild Life takes an unprecedented look at the corrupt, dangerous, and fascinating world of the wildlife trade. A Kingpin has his downfall as investigative reporter Runako Celina unpacks the complex systems surrounding illegal animal products, including the criminalization of poverty as well as the motivations driving demand. It's a wild ride, where nothing is as it initially seems.
