Storyline:
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...

'The Last Lions' is overwhelmily beautiful, heartbreaking, exhilarating, funny, sad, hopeful, & thought provoking. You must see it if you care about the fate of the planet's severely dwindling wild lion population. Probably not suitable for children under 10 years. And also make a contribution to Cause An Uproar if you can to help protect the endangered big cats of the world. [BLOCKED WEBSITE] And note that alll proceeds from 'The Last Lions' goes to promote big cat conservation.

Being a person that has had several cats in her life, I was curious to see how the wild lions reacted to each other in the wild and compare them to my pets. It was so interesting to see the big cats play and groom each other as my own pets do but at the very same time they are always on the alert to danger that may befall them in the wild. The filming of the project was absolutely breathtaking. Up close shots of the animals and picturesque scenes of the landscape. It was just beautifully done. The narration by Jeremy Irons gave a very majestic feel to the story as he has a beautiful cadence to his voice that displayed the power behind the scenes that we were viewing. It was also a heart-wretching story because as we know life can be cruel and there are not always happy endings. I would not take small children to see this film because there are scenes of what really does happen in the wild. I believe it would be appropriate for individuals in the late teens and up.

This is a very inspirational, amazing and truthful documentary. This completely shows the feelings of a mother and her struggle for survival. This also shows the replacement of lions due to lost habitat, we as humans are not thinking the great damange we are doing to our animals. Let's hope this documentary opens people's eyes and minds, we need to defend our lions in Africa. We must save our lions. Moreover, all the proceeds will go to Big Cats Initiative, unlike all Hollywood movies, the money goes to save our cats not help celebrities get richer. Please go see this documentary. It's a must see... Or watch the trailer at least...

I took my wife and her parents to go see the movie. It was showing at the Angelika Theatre in Dallas. The movie was good. The cinematography was unbelievable, and the story was compelling. My only complaint would be the narration. I felt that they took liberties with what was going on. Overall, it held our attention, and we discussed it after the fact. I do not know if I would see it again, but would recommend to certain individuals to go see it.

I find it amazing how the filmmakers were able to capture so much emotion and intensity in the faces and bodies of these animals and to tell such a dramatic story with so much suspense. The story was told so eloquently and revolved around the themes of motherhood, loss, sisterhood, leadership and survival . It was hard not to become attached to Ma di Tau and her two cubs. I laughed and cried. Very intense and powerful film!
