Safari Strife

image

Sophie is a stridently metropolitan mother with an 18-month-old son, Rufus. Husband Guy has Africa in his blood and a hankering for adventure. When an opportunity for him to work as a Kenyan gamekeeper arises, the young family swap their London semi for a remote encampment in Kenya with dire results for their marriage and Sophie’s mental health: “It keeps dawning on me that life isn’t a rehearsal. You can’t spend time being this unhappy!” Cutting Edge’s award-winning team follow Guy, Sophie and Rufus who candidly vent their emotions to the camera as they survive drama, disease and a life-threatening attack by Somalian guerrillas. All the while, the subtext asks, how far can you sacrifice lifestyle, sanity and safety for the one you love?
