The End of the Game

The End of the Game tells the story of David Graham Scott, a vegan filmmaker, and Guy Wallace, a big-game hunter on the verge of retirement. David follows Guy on one final hunt in Africa, as Guy seeks to hunt a Cape buffalo as the closing chapter of his career.

Guy is quite a character—a man who appears stuck in the past, seemingly more suited to colonial times than the present, and who harbours a deep love for the hunt. He is the last person most would expect to form a friendship with a vegan such as David, yet somehow, they make it work.

The documentary centres on the unlikely friendship between the two men, as David observes Guy hunting while also exploring the ethical issues surrounding the practice. Over the course of the film, the pair grow closer, and David even begins to question his own moral stance when he finds himself enjoying the hunt more than he had anticipated.
