The Last Lions is a heart wrenching, nail biting, gripping tale of maternal instinct, survival, battle, competition and call of the wild.
The movie, anthropomorphically, tells the story of Ma di Tau (named after her first born) and her cubs. The movie follows her attempts to procure food for herself and her cubs, her establishment on a new island and her struggle with a pride that attempts to defeat her and take over.
The movie kept me at the edge of my seat throughout, never knowing what to expect. Large cats hold a special place in my heart, despite that, the story telling had me wishing for the death of some of the lions in the movie. That shocked me and exemplifies some compelling story telling abilities. That being said, it must be acknowledged that all the story telling is man made and the thoughts, flash backs and ideas of the animals that are narrated are probably just excellent story telling gimmicks.
An excellent movie that definitely strikes a chord and hopefully will help lion conservation. Great job National Geographic. Fantastic job Beverly and Dereck Joubert!!!!!!
