The Last Lions
The Most Powerful Force In Nature Is A Mother's Love
Directed by Dereck Joubert
Produced by National Geographic Films
A visually stunning wildlife documentary centered on maternal survival and love, framed against the existential threat of extinction.
In Botswana's Okavango Delta, an ostracized lioness and her two cubs must fight alone to survive - overcoming all manner of hazards. Their only defense is to escape to Duba Island -- and with that, an unknown future. The setting for this epic tale is one of the last regions where lions can live in the wild. Faced with dwindling land and increasing pressure from hunting, lions - like our lone lioness and her cubs - are approaching the brink of extinction.
