Comments: Wimpy, and doesn’t tell the story very well. An uncool pride as fae as prides go
Summary: This intimate film follows a pride of lions facing an upheaval that threatens their survival. A giant wild fig tree stands at the centre of a remote flood plain in north western Zambia. It marks the territory of a pride of lions who have thrived here for years. Without warning or explanation, the pride male has vanished, leaving five females and their cubs to cope alone. Sooner or later, other lions will challenge them for this prime territory with its abundant food and water. Tragedy and drama envelop the lives of the fig tree pride as they fight for survival. Against a backdrop of spectacular African scenery, the alpha female must guide her sisters and the cubs through treacherous times as two very different competing males attempt to take over the pride
In a little known part of Central Africa lies the Busanga floodplain, an area of just 750 square kilometers. Its rich grasslands sustain a wide variety of water loving birds and animals. Right in the middle of the plain is a giant wild fig tree that dominates the whole of Pasanga. This tree stands at the centre of the territory of a pride of lions. Lions which differ from the norm in that they climb trees
