Baxu and the Giants is a story of rhino poaching triggering social change in rural Namibia, seen through the eyes of a 9-year-old girl.
9 year old Baxu lives a simple but happy life in rural Namibia. When strange men show up and cause a change in the village and eventually her own family, Baxu investigates and is forced to confront a difficult truth. Her brother started poaching, to improve the family’s living conditions. Baxu has to decide – will she stay quiet or will she listen to the rhinos, the giants of the Savannah who she talks to in her dreams, and risk losing the people she loves?
