Sudan, the world’s last male northern white rhino, died in March of 2018, propelling his species to the very precipice of extinction. Stylish, moving, and surprisingly droll, The Last Male on Earth is the story of his final years, as related by the humans that surrounded him in the Kenyan wildlife sanctuary that was his home. Making a deft feature debut, director Floor Van Der Meulen wryly surveys a varied cast of characters, including the keeper who considered Sudan to be one of his best friends, the armed bodyguards who trained diligently to protect him, journalists who penned dispatches of his plight, tourists drawn to bid farewell, and the scientists and conservationists who believe they might just be able to resurrect Sudan’s kind from the dead.
