    In the corrupt and deadly world of the illegal wildlife trade, criminals are responsible for the wholesale slaughter of animals, and the suffering of people, too. Justice is rarely found.

Investigative journalist Runako Celina takes us through the bizarre and far-reaching web of the global illegal wildlife trade and those trying to dismantle it. From Luminary, Drake's DreamCrew Entertainment, Novel, and Thread Studios, this is Pull The Thread, Season 1: The Wild Life.
