Beautiful mess." That's how actor Nimisha Sajayan describes her character, a forest department official who's #TeamElephant, in the latest Amazon Prime Video series Poacher. Created by Richie Mehta of Delhi Crime fame, the label also applies to Mehta's work. The London-based writer-director shows the mess in society "through the eyes of people cleaning it up", he notes. Inspired by true events in Kerala, the multilingual dramatic thriller centres on the unsung heroes who rally together to track the network that kills elephants to keep the illegal ivory trade going.
