President Samia Suluhu Hassan has launched the country's strategic film and
revealed how it has helped unearth areas that were used for poaching.

The President, who acted as a tour guide in the film said that during
filming the Royal Tour they found a big granary where ivory and rhinoceros
teeth were being stored for smuggling.

"We decided to show this out in the film for Tanzanians to see how they
eliminate animals, but not all of them were from Tanzania, some were from
the neighboring countries... let the whole world see and know that this
business is not good, we are eliminating our treasure," President Samia
said.

The Head of State said during the launching and screening of the Royal Tour
film at the Arusha International Conference Centre (AICC) in Arusha on
Thursday

Meanwhile, the Head of State expressed her experience of shooting the
documentary saying she didn't expect the film to come out the way it did.

"I thank the entire production team, it was not an easy task, these people
told me to keep my presidency in office,they told me when you come here you
are a tour guide, you are an actress, we don't have time with your
presidency so I did it... I was doing one action ten times, Sometimes I was
angry... they told me no Samia, you have to do it, and at that time my
presidency did not exist till we finished".
