 Fantastic cult doc November 17, 2008
The Jouberts are one of my favorite wildlife documentary teams. They're stories, both on the screen and in person, are some of the most fascinating tales of the Circle of Life I've ever heard. This is one of those documentaries that spawned all that followed. For the time period, this documentary is easily one of the best shot, produced and told.
educational May 10, 2008
good movie, and very educational. the fighting and hatred between the the lion pride and hyena clan, i would consider it too graphic for an age group younger than 6, but you can learn alot from them. Powers booth is not just a good actor, he did good job narating the movie. 4 stars over all

This documentary is incredibly well filmed. Years were spent in the dangerous wilds of Africa to bring us this story.
The documentary follows a pride of lions and a pack of hyenas. The information it delivers is really amazing. Information about the diet, reproduction habits, social order, behaviors, the range and so much more of these animals is brought to you in excellent video and narrative.
But it's the story of the individual animals that draws you in. The story of a lioness raising her cubs - and the hazards they see. The "Hyena Queen" raising her "princess" and the requirements and hazards of that job (it's really hard to like these bizarre animals).
My high school students were riveted by this video. It is excellent for showing the Savannah biome and animal interactions. They would actually stay after the bell asking to finish it. They cheer and cry over the battles fought in the lives of these animals. Yes, even some of the boys cried over those cubs.
It is:
1.Beautifully filmed
2.Packed with information
3.Compelling in it's story
Every High school Life science teacher needs this video, and if you have kids (it's too rough for the younger ones) they will love it and learn.

They provided a touching and somewhat emotional view of how nature plays out, it leaves you on the edge of your seat, hoping that death won't strike again. Flesh ripping carnage and personalities that you can support and often cheer for. It had my teenagers interest peaked, which is something that doesn't happen often. If you watch the Special Features you'll find that the camera crew had their own stuggles to over come after a car accident almost prevented the completion of the film. This was a first hand account of the struggles between lions and hyenas, the lines were drawn and often defended, I recommend this DVD to anyone has an interest in nature and what it takes to survive.

Great capture of Lions vs Hyenas trying to survive in the same environment. You can feel your own hair rise on the back of the neck as you look into the eyes of these predators during such dangerous encounters.
