Listen "Ep 135: The Story of Rhino Man and South African Park Rangers"
Episode Synopsis
In this week's episode, Jason talks with John Jurko II. John is a filmmaker, podcaster, and lover of books, nature, and adventure. John grew up in rural northeast Ohio in the village of Yankee Lake, and from a young age was immersed in nature. After studying film at university he spent 2 years living in Los Angeles working in the camera department on indie films, he produced and directed corporate videos for big brands in Atlanta, Georgia, and since 2018 he has been the lead producer and director of the film Rhino Man — a feature-length documentary about the South African field rangers who risk their lives to protect the rhinos from being poached to extinction. During the conversation, John fills us in on why rhinos need protection, who and how locals become Park Rangers, and how everyday people can help. He will also tell a story about a special Park Ranger, Anton, who dedicated, and gave, his life protecting these animals.
