Rugari and his family live on the border of the Serengeti, next to a pride of lions. During the dry season hungry lions threaten their village, and Rugari is faced with a terrible decision. Livestock is his family’s only income, and he could protect them by poisoning the lions. But if he’s caught he will be sent to jail. His daughter Nyange insists that there must be another way. Shot on location in Tanzania with a local team and director, this film is a nuanced telling of what it means to live with lions.
