A moment I’ll remember forever. 🏆🌿

Chameleon Corridors won Best African Film, Best Innovative Wildlife Storytelling, and the Nkaang’ Award, the highest honour at PWFF, Africa’s biggest wildlife film festival.

Nkaang’ means “home” in Maasai, which feels beautifully fitting for a festival that has become a home for African wildlife stories and storytellers.

Huge thanks to the PWFF team, and especially founder Fiona Tande, for championing African talent and giving our stories the stage they deserve.

This film was made by a fully Tanzanian crew, in Swahili, in the Eastern Arc Mountains, and its authenticity is exactly what helped it travel around the world. Congrats to our amazing team!

I hope more African storytellers feel inspired to tell our stories bravely, in our own way.

And if you love African wildlife and storytelling, be at the next PWFF.

Next chapter: Our impact campaign led by @siminickman supported by @earthalliance will be taking the film back across the Eastern Arc Mountains and using it to build pride, connection, visibility and protection for this extraordinary landscape. 🦎🌍

Celebrating the tiny heroes that keep our planet alive. 🐝🌍

An unforgettable evening at the @beewild.campaign Impact Campaign gala at the TIME House in Cannes, learning, connecting, and celebrating the incredible role of pollinators, especially bees, in protecting our ecosystems and food systems.

Super fun hanging out with @robindmoore @luciaixchiugt @mehta_a @flyambassador

Our first red carpet at the most prestigious film festival in the world 🎬✨

We came to Cannes to pitch our upcoming documentary Children of Honey.. and left with new supporters, a major European broadcaster onboard, and a week we’ll never forget.

The biggest shoutout goes to my badass partner and Impact Producer, Simona Nickmanova, who was somehow doing all of this while 8 months pregnant and producing another film at Cannes. Absolute powerhouse. ❤️

And a huge thank you to our incredible Scottish producer, Natalie Humphreys, for bringing us to Cannes as part of the Scottish delegation showcasing documentary Works in Progress.

Congratulations to Chameleon Corridors on winning three awards at the Pridelands Wildlife Film Fest 2026 — Best African Film, Best Innovative Wildlife Storytelling, and the Nkaang’ Award. 🏆

We are proud to partner with @afrisos and to have showcased Chameleon Corridors as part of our Kili Climate Day events at schools across the Kilimanjaro region this year. Seeing this film receive the recognition it deserves means a lot to everyone involved in that work.

Conservation storytelling matters. This is proof.

Chameleon Corridors is screening at Pridelands Wildlife Film Festival 2026 ( pwffest ) and has been nominated for 3 awards.

This film captures the unique sights and sound of the Eastern Arc Mountains, through the lens of endemic chameleon species, exploring the intricate web of relationships in one of earth’s most ancient rainforest ecosystems.

As an art form meant to invite audiences to reflect on humanity’s role on Earth, @chameleoncorridors blends science, folklore, and conservation to revere nature, but to also highlight challenges around our relationship to it.

Shout out to the film Impact Producer @siminickman whose leadership keeps shaping the film’s global reach and tangible local conservation impact.

(In the reel: Filmmaker and Director @jiganatra shares behind-the-scenes reflections from production.)
