The impact of a film production is strongly influenced by its central theme. Therefore, topics that are problematic for our present deserve special attention. Daniel Clarkson is no exception to this rule, besides being a talented director who manages to move through the suggestiveness of the images he captures. His short documentary thus delivers a message that we already know but which becomes more and more delicate every day since it tangentially addresses that natural catastrophic imminence worthy of an ecological dystopia. ‘The Last Cheetahs‘ addresses only a fragment of this causality in the line of documentaries warning of the possible extinction of a species, which puts into a wider context the fragility of ecosystems necessary for the demands of the normality we wish to preserve. Born on the one hand out of this subtextual stake to address the accelerated degradation of nature’s subtle links, and on the other hand out of a desire to make viewers aware of the tragic fate of certain animal species, this short documentary is both an opportunity to dive into the fascinating wild world of Africa and an experience that leaves a bitter taste behind.
