“Lazy relatives, jealous neighbours and runaway kids: the everyday troubles of family life, except that this family is a pride of Lions”
Shot over three years in the unspoilt Luangwa Valley in Zambia, this film follows the young male, Mfumu, as he struggles to defend his turf against a rival male, bent on taking over the pride; and his mate, Chipazuwa, as she tries to produce offspring. This is their story....
Lions may be the lords of the jungle, but their domain stops at the river’s edge. A river infested with hungry crocodiles is a deadly threat to curious young cubs. Curiosity can kill the cat!
After five years of losing every litter to predators, Chipazuwa gives birth to two healthy cubs, but she must battle mortal enemies in order to raise them to adulthood.
She has been robbed of her previous cubs by crocodiles for five years in a row but she is determined to be a good mother. This time, the brave lioness saves her cubs from a hungry crocodile that has come up from the river into lion territory....
