To Walk with Lions

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 04:00:00 +0000

Drama based loosely on the final years of Kenya game warden and lion-raiser George Adamson’s life. An unofficial sequel to ‘Born Free’ (1966) and ‘Living Free’ (1972), which also dramatised the life of Adamson, this film picks up the life of George (Richard Harris) on the African wildlife preserve he runs with the help of his brother Terrence (Ian Bannen). When drifter Tony Fitzjohn (John Michie) arrives to work for the old men he initially takes poorly to the task, almost savaged by a lion on his first day and on the verge of leaving when he hears that his predecessor was killed in a similar incident. The arrival of a lion cub that Fitzjohn must care for and raise changes everything. Soon he finds himself helping the brothers in their fight to save lions – and, ultimately, the park itself – from the poachers, soldiers and corrupt government officials that threaten them.
