The Mysterious Animal Gangs Of Nigeria | Hyena Men | Real Wild

An intriguing film that unravels the myth of Nigeria’s

Hyena People, who arrive in towns wrapped in rock pythons, with hyenas in chains and

with trained monkeys turning somersaults. Some believe that they are part

animal and possess magical powers. The reality is that they are travelling minstrels

earning money by performing with animals.

This examines the clash between the urban and the wild, and the

paradoxical relationship that the handlers have with their

animals – sometimes loving, sometimes brutal and cruel.
