Raised by Wolves, which was filmed in Cape Town, is being praised for pioneering a more sustainable approach to filmmaking, and the production recently received a Gold Environmental Media Association seal for Sustainability!

Season 2 of Raised by Wolves, which was filmed in Cape Town, is receiving international recognition for their sustainability approach by avoiding more than 850 000 plastic bottles, decreasing paper usage by over 80%, diverting 681 tonnes of timber from landfill and serving more than 15 000 meat-free meals.

Season 2, which is now available on Showmax, is one of Rotten Tomatoes’ most anticipated shows of 2022, and more than lived up to expectations with a 92% critics’ rating.

“We’re the first generation that’s really felt the impact of climate change,” says Film Afrika line producer Cheryl Eatock, paraphrasing Barack Obama. “We’re also the last generation that can really do something about it. Every single thing we do makes a difference; it just depends on how much a difference you want to make.”

The GreenSet Action Plan included consultations with all departments, 90% of the crew signing a sustainability pledge, and five designated sustainable days of the week: Circular Mondays, Meat Free Tuesdays, Waste-less Wednesdays, the Green Wolf of the Week sustainability rewards programme on Thursdays, and Plug-out Fridays.Season 2 also piloted a groundbreaking solution for polyurethane waste.
