Panda Diplomacy

Panda Diplomacy peels back the layers of sentimentality surrounding panda conservation, revealing the unsettling realities that hinder its primary objective: protecting the species from human ambitions.

Panda Diplomacy intimately explores the complex lives of giant pandas across 13 countries—both individual bears and family units, highlighting the flaws within the larger conservation movement, and examining the true motives behind this elusive species’ protection.
The film captures the lovable, unwitting animals caught in the crossfire of delicate statecraft, questioning whether or not pandas will ever be allowed to exist as just pandas.
