The first words that come to my mind of how to describe The Last Lions, a 2011 National Geographic documentary, to you are: It's heart-wrenching and it's captivating.
This is one of those nature documentaries you just have to see.
My eyes were firmly rooted to the screen hanging on to every moment of action and my mind was a rollercoaster of emotion as I was pulled deeper into the story of a mother lion trying to protect and fend for her cubs.
I was born in South Africa and have witnessed on many occasions the epic beauty of the lion and the power with which they roam and rule the wild. In the circle of wildlife, the lion is the king and few care to challenge that dominance.
This film, told through the camera lens' of Dereck and Beverly Joubert, as well as the voice of Jeremy Irons, highlights the need for protection of a species that has gone down to as little as 20 000 over the past 50 years. Shocking, right!
