Win Tickets for the Movie Sidik and the Panther
Sidik and the Panther is a movie about a man named Sidik, who is convinced that the Persian leopard lives in the rugged mountain landscape of Kurdish northern Iraq. Equipped with binoculars and a walking stick, he roams the hills hunting for evidence of this feline species. He has been searching for 25 years in vain. If he were to spot a leopard, the entire area would be classified as a protected nature reserve. He hopes that this would also put an end to the bombing and murders that plague the region.
Hana Raza
In this movie the FFN 2017 winner Hana Raza is featured as a real trailblazer who rediscovered the Persian leopard in the area after it had been thought to be extinct for years, showing the resilience of this species in at times unforgiving terrain. Hana is undertaking scientific research to map local biodiversity to find out more about the leopards and leading the charge for a nationwide protection programme.
