Jackson Wild

For the families and farmers living on the front lines of human-wildlife conflict, this film wasn’t just a story — it was their story. 🦁

Kuishi Na Simba (Living with Lions), a 2025 JWMA Impact Campaign finalist, brought that story back to the Serengeti communities at its heart, and went on to reach 11,000 people across Tanzania and stream in 166 countries across the globe 🌍

In this exclusive interview, director and cinematographer Erica Rugabandana () joins producers Jacqueline Farmer and Julie Busse, hosted by impact producer Alex Pearson, to break down the full impact story — from bush screenings beside a Land Cruiser to a national broadcast on Boxing Day.
