Narrated by John Huston Twenty-five years ago,
George and Joy Adamson trained an orphaned lioness cub named 'Elsa' to live free in the wild. Since then nearly 40 more lions have discovered the freedom of the Kora Game Reserve in Kenya. 'Koretta' and 'Naja' are the last to be released into the harsh African bush. This film follows some tense moments as 'Koretta' introduces her two cubs to George for the first time. Will they survive, or succumb to the threat of 'Black and Tan', a rogue male lion?
