Synopsis

Set in Botswana’s Okavango Delta, the film follows an ostracized lioness and her two cubs as they struggle to survive amid various hazards. Their sole recourse is to reach Duba Island, after which their future remains uncertain. The narrative highlights the delta as one of the remaining habitats where lions exist in the wild, noting that shrinking territory and heightened hunting pressure are bringing lions, including the featured family, close to extinction.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 7

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
