Fifty years ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20,000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, which are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords. This is the jumping-off point for a disturbing, well-researched and beautifully made cri de coeur from husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, award-winning filmmakers from Botswana who have been Explorers-...

Full Plot Details

Fifty years ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20,000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, which are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords. This is the jumping-off point for a disturbing, well-researched and beautifully made cri de coeur from husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, award-winning filmmakers from Botswana who have been Explorers-in-Residence at National Geographic for more than four years. Pointing to poaching as a primary threat while noting the lion's pride of place on the list for eco-tourists-an industry that brings in 200 billion dollars per year worldwide-the Jouberts build a solid case for both the moral duty we have to protect lions (as well as other threatened "big cats," tigers among them) and the economic sense such protection would make. And when one takes into account the fact that big cats are at the very top of the food chain-and that their elimination would wreak havoc on all species below them, causing a complete ecosystem collapse-the need takes on a supreme urgency.

Movie Reviews

St. Paul Pioneer Press - 10/10 by Chris HewittIf something can be done to save these last lions, this sort of honest appraisal is exactly the first step we need.
Spirituality and Practice - 10/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatAn extraordinary documentary about a fierce and creative wild lioness in Botswana who is doing all she can to nurture and defend her cubs as they face one challenge after another.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 10/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)If something can be done to save these last lions, this sort of honest appraisal is exactly the first step we need.
Village Voice - 9/10 by Nicolas RapoldThough floridly written and relentlessly scored, the film's dramas are more persuasively framed than many human ones, going so far as to include multiple flashbacks.
Christian Science Monitor - 9/10 by Peter RainerA great way to go on a safari without ever leaving the multiplex.
Seattle Times - 9/10 by Jeff ShannonNo matter how you feel about real-life drama being shaped and enhanced in the editing room, this is wildlife storytelling at its formidable finest.
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Ty BurrThe film is an astonishing visual experience and at times almost profoundly suspenseful.
San Francisco Chronicle - 8/10 by Peter HartlaubIt's all very melodramatic, but the Jouberts accompany this story with incredible visuals, with an exceptional level of access. Considering how close they get to the animals, it's a wonder none of the filmmakers got mauled.
Denver Post - 8/10 by Lisa KennedyWrenching and wondrous, Dereck and Beverly Joubert's documentary The Last Lions is not a tale for the faint-hearted.
Orlando Sentinel - 8/10 by Roger MooreIt's a vivid, blunt and candid look at their kill-or-be-killed existence, which Joubert writes and Irons narrates is "the eternal dance of Africa."
