On the crowded streets of Nigeria, men known as the Hyena Men lead chained hyenas and baboons through performances designed to stop traffic and draw a crowd. The animals are the hook; the real business is the herbs and medicines the performers sell once the audience has gathered, a trade passed down within families for generations. Produced by CCTV Africa, the film follows performers who begin training with the animals as children, some as young as ten, and shows the scars one baboon trainer carries on his arms from years of close calls. Interviews trace how the tradition binds showmanship to livelihood: a wilder display of hyenas and venomous snakes means a bigger crowd and stronger sales. The film also puts the criticism on record, letting animal rights activists argue that chaining and provoking wild animals for street theater is cruel, and it does not resolve the disagreement so much as lay both sides out plainly. What stays on screen is the risk itself, an audience watching an act that could turn dangerous at any moment.
