Paul Cryer is a biologist and conservationist living in Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. He has been one of the Wilderness guides taking groups with Alistair and Wilhelm into the South African Wild for over 15 years. Before the production of this film, Paul has met many people who are working in reconciliation and conflict transformation through his collaborative efforts with Wilhelm and Alistair. The workshops documented in South Africa in 2013 were the first time he ever got to sit down and face some of the issues within his own community and his past. He was a conscript in the South African army during the Apartheid era, and admits to have benefitted from the system, although being opposed to it. In his own words:

"It's very easy for me to say I was always opposed to apartheid. Is that true? Even in South Africa now there are not forums where we can be really honest with those kinds of questions. So this opportunity is really valuable."
