Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
The DVD (2006 - 87 minutes) is a true story about a lion cub who lived with 2 australians in London. They had bought the lion cub from the pet department in Harrods. Bill Travers and Virginnia Mckenna are introduced to them and they decide to help the lion be free in Kenya. First the lion cub is taken to Surrey Hills, home of V Mckenna and W Travers.
George Adamson takes the lion cub on and the lion is moved to Kenya and lives with other lions in the compound.
It is a very moving and lovely story and brings you to sadness and tears. It is like Born Free again. The characters are real and the interaction with other humans and wildlife is real. Even more tragidy follows when George Adamson has to shoot one of his beloved lions.
A fantastic DVD and real time story. Highly recommended with beautiful Kenyan photography. Just watch how much effort is put into preserving these lions.
