Product Description: Three young lions walk out of the night and take over an older lion's territory and his harem of eight lionesses. This National Geographic video captures a year in the life of these lions of darkness and their pride. Filmed and narrated by renowned wildlife filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert, the 75-minute video provides an in-depth look at the lions' daily struggle to survive. The Jouberts add a personal touch by naming the lions and noting differences in their personalities and interactions with each other--especially their interactions with Tao, the youngest cub, who faces even greater obstacles than the others. A few scenes, such as the death of the older lion, may be too intense for younger children, but the realism of this video is what makes it such a fascinating and memorable portrait. --Larisa Lomacky Moore

Customer Reviews
One of the Best
This documentary has stayed with me for ten years. It's a heart-rendering portrayal of life in the wilderness, the struggle to survive and the fight to dominate. Beautifully photographed, it pulls no punches as it follows a pride of lions through brith and death. It's both grim and gorgeous (and contrary to what one reviewer posted, there is no frog or bug filler in this program.

Awesome documentary on lions!
One of the top two National Geographic documentaries. Not quite as good as Eternal Enemies. Beverly and Derek Joubert are unbelievable film makers and for a true lion fan, this documentary won't disappoint!

Good watch
This is a good movie if you want to learn the basics about Lions. If you need specific behaviors about them, buy something else. I watched this for an Animal Behavior class and I needed to do alot of extra research to find specifics. Overall a good movie!

Great, but not the best.
I think the reviewer that said this film was about bugs got his tapes mixed up, because there is nothing about insects in this film at all. The documentary follows a pride of lions, particularly a young male that was born late and became orphaned. His story is intriguing enough to base a film on, but we also witness an old lion desperately trying to cling to the life he once had, and the intricate process of raising a cub. The only reason I gave this documentary four stars is because it ends rather abruptly, leaving the viewer wondering what happened to the male cub and his fellow pride-mates. Another twelve minutes would have done this film some good, although I was thoroughly satisfied with my purchase...(from a rival company...sorry Amazon...I'll never do it again...you guys were cheaper anyway!!)
