Captured follows an unlikely alliance between two women who once publicly despised each other: a former head trainer at a powerful wildlife game farm and the photographer who spent years working to expose it. When the trainer walks away and brings evidence of abuse, animal deaths, and endangered species trafficking, their rivalry transforms into a high-stakes investigation. As they navigate federal complaints, undercover recordings, and retaliatory lawsuits, the film unfolds like a whistleblower thriller--revealing how iconic wildlife images are manufactured, and the dangerous cost of telling the truth.
