Wild Daze If it Doesn't Challenge You, It Doesn't Change You. Narrated by Keith David, Directed and Produced by Phyllis Stuart, Wild Daze was forged by a fierce desire to save the African wild while also protecting its exploited women, children and forest peoples.Wild Daze shows the correlation between saving wildlife and saving humanity. Experts like Dr. Jane Goodall, Will Travers, and others reveal how corruption, crime cartels and greed work to obstruct the efforts of lawmakers and conservationists who are working to save our planet. Since human survival hangs in balance, humans must decide whether we see ourselves as custodians, as entitled consumers or as part of a delicate ecosystem. This documentary has been released in virtual cinemas and is available on VOD. Saving the wild is enmeshed with international crime cartels, child soldiers, colluding government officials and a rampant illegal wildlife trade. All human beings are existentially and ethically tied to animal welfare but saving the wild is about helping people as it is about protecting nature. Though independently created, Wild Daze has enjoyed outstanding support from talent like narrator Keith David and cast members Dr. Jane Goodall, Will Travers, Ofir Drori, Tony Fitzjohn, Richard Bonham and Ian Redmond, among many others. Since human survival hangs in balance, we must decide whether we see ourselves as superior, as custodians, as entitled consumers or as a part of a delicate ecosystem. The wild needs everyone and the would appreciate your help spreading the word about Wild Daze. Your buzz-building support helps save the wild and by endorsing this film we reach larger audiences helping transform viewers into activists and wildlife conservationists. Filmed in 9 countries, the Wild Daze cast includes seasoned wildlife experts, eco-tourism businessmen, tribal and animal activists, trophy hunters, poacher hunters and emerging conservationists who advanced our shared goal: biodiversity conservation. Since our future is inextricably linked to nature, it's time to create lasting conservation solutions to truly preserve nature.
