The Wild and the Brave (sometimes also called Two Men of Karamoja) is a 1974 film directed by Edward S. Jones.It is a documentary about the Kidepo Valley National Park in Uganda. A decade after Uganda gained independence from Great Britain in 1961, Iain Ross, the last white man to serve as warden of the park, is set to leave. He is training his replacement, Paul Ssali, who will be the first Ugandan to serve as warden of the park. While relations between the two of them are friendly, there is still an undercurrent of tension caused by the legacy of white colonialism.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Meanwhile, the park has to be run, and Ross and Ssali face many challenges. Their biggest problem are poachers, specifically locals who enter into the park and hunt the protected animals for food. At one point a wildfire rips through the park and the park rangers have to put it out. Refugees and rebels from Sudan enter the area. And there's also the underlying concern about the ruler of Uganda, the deranged Idi Amin.

Based on a True Story: While the film is a documentary and the participants were real people and not actors, parts of the narrative are clearly staged. Some of the dialogue between Ross and Ssali is obviously rehearsed. At one point a "conversation" between Ross and Ssali takes place without Ross ever appearing onscreen, his voice obviously having been dubbed in later.
