Storyline

This is a film in two parts. The first part deals with the efforts of African officials (read: British)to conserve the jungle wild life. Tribes make their living by capturing animals for sale, and also killing them for their hides, and it is these poachers the film deals with. The second part is most of the footage from a 1949 British documentary that won a special Oscar in 1950, "Daybreak in Udi," aka "Daybreak at Udi" in the U.S.A. This segment shows how a tribe works together, with the aid of government officials, to build a maternity hospital, against the opposition of an influential tribesman.
