Award-winning Ghanaian-British filmmaker, Yaba Badoe, blends environmentalism, magic and feminism, in a rich and powerful story. Zula, Adoma, Linet, are three young women who must protect the threatened sacred sites of their homeland.

When copper miners plunder Zula's desert home in Gobi Altai, and Adoma's forest and river are polluted by gold prospectors, it is only a matter of time before the lake Linet guards with her life is also in jeopardy. How far will Zula, Adoma and Linet go to defend the well-being of their homes? And when all else fails, will they have the courage to summon the ancient power of their order, to make the landscape speak in a way that everyone will hear?

Rich in elemental magic, myth and the mysterious magical dusk, Wolf-light is Yaba Badoe's defiant call to protect our environment, to conserve our heritage and to hear the ancient power that connects us.
