Their names may be unfamiliar, but these rare game species, originally from Africa and Asia, now roam Texas ranches in numbers that exceed 250,000.

While this flourishing micro-economy and sub-culture has gone unrecognized by most of the world, 'A Kind of Wild' is a documentary that presents a portrait of the industry, as illustrated by a cross-section of invested individuals: an amateur breeder, a researcher, a ranch hand and a hunter. The film is an exploration of paradoxical relationships between people and animals, between economics and conservation. See less
