Lions of the Skeleton Coast
Three lion cubs and their journey to adulthood.
Researcher Dr Philip Stander follows three cubs as they navigate the harsh desert of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast – one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.
Defined by shifting sand dunes, extreme weather, and a constant cloak of fog, the Skeleton Coast is home to a surprising diversity of life, including lions. The film documents in vivid detail the lives of these cubs and the challenges they face. At its heart, this is a family story about the unbreakable bond between siblings.
