Netflix has revealed the trailer and poster for The Ivory Game, which will be released at the IFC Center in New York and on Netflix on Friday, November 4.
From executive producer Leonardo DiCaprio, The Ivory Game is an epic documentary thriller that goes undercover into the dark and sinister underbelly of ivory trafficking. Award-winning director Richard Ladkani and Academy Award-nominated director Kief Davidson filmed undercover for 16 months in China and Africa with a crack team of intelligence operatives, undercover activists, passionate frontline rangers and tough-as-nails conservationists, to infiltrate the corrupt global network of ivory trafficking.
A production from Terra Mater Film Studios and Vulcan Productions, this stunningly-photographed exposé follows poachers in pursuit of the ‘white gold’ of ivory. Ultimately, the film becomes an urgent wake-up call that proves time is running out for the African elephants, dangerously nearing closer and closer to extinction.
The film was also executive produced by Joanne Reay, Dinah Czezik-Müller, Paul G. Allen, Carole Tomko, Adam Del Deo, Lisa Nishimura, and Jennifer Davisson. Wolfgang Knöpfler, Walter Kohler and Kief Davidson are producers.
