Gor - The Poached Pride (2012)

Documentary on India's one-horned rhinoceros

Kaziranga National Park, a World Heritage Site, is one of the largest wildlife parks in the world. Along with elephants, tigers, swamp deer and many others, it is home to two-thirds of the world's population of the Great One-Horned Rhinoceros. The fame of the rhinoceros in Assam is immense and has been adopted by the Government of Assam as the state symbol.

The crew of Gor brings you an in-depth analysis of the rampant issue of poaching and the merciless wrath that the rhinoceroses in Assam face. Kaziranga has been hailed as a conservation success story but even as the praise continues, their state pride continues to be poached -- a poached pride.
