National Geographic Lion Warriors (2010)

On the Great Plains below Mount Kilimanjaro in Kenya lions are attacking Maasai cattle as they have for hundreds of years And the proud Maasai warriors have hunted them ruthlessly in return so that now only about 2000 remain in the country If their numbers drop any lower their populations will not be sustainable Now the Maasai elders and chiefs are recognizing that the threat to their lions is also a threat to their way of life and have forbidden the warriors from hunting them Wildlife filmmaker Kire Godal with the support of executive producers Dereck and Beverly Joubert captures firsthand the struggle of these modernday warriors who are reinventing their traditions to help save the lions they once prided themselves on killing
