Finished only months before his death, this film features first-hand accounts of Adamson s extraordinary adventures and inspiring life.

Join Martin Dohrn as he uses thermal cameras and image intensifiers to film day and night, charting the lives of the mystical scavenger and the king of beasts. Watch as the hyena and lion vie for power, sharing the same inhospitable habitat and pursuing the same prey, each existing at the top of the food chain and maintaining a relationship that is far more complex and surprising than myths reveal. APPROXIMATELY 60 MINUTES Lions of Etosha Nearly 500 lions roam the vast land of Etosha National Park in Namibia, each pride guarding territory, raising young, and feasting on prey. This film follows the Ombika pride, a family of nineteen, and offers a rare glimpse into the pride system, from family interactions and shared responsibilities to raising cubs and teaching them to hunt. Watch the pride s successes and failures, battles and births, and encounters with elephants and the rarely seen black rhino.

Despite conservation efforts, their territory is decreasing and battles with humans are steadily rising. This eye-opening documentary examines the struggles these lions face in surviving. Captured on video for the first time, the Asiatic lion hunts, cowers from humans, and searches longingly for a place to roam.
