Big Cat Country

Cinematographers Nathan Pilcher and Sam Davies have spent years filming lions in Zambia's Luangwa Valley. This is their story, and an intimate portrait of three dynasties of lions.

With their leader badly wounded, the Hollywood lionesses retreat and regroup. Meanwhile, the MK females use their feminine wiles to distract the nomadic band of bachelors.

With the Hollywood lionesses hiding in the north, the four nomadic males turn south. Nathan Pilcher captures the Nomads' attempt at a pride take over, which sends the MK lions running for their lives.

British wildlife cameraman Nathan Pilcher plants himself in the heart of Zambia's big cat country to capture an unprecedented 24/7 film of the ultimate lion soap opera.

The lionesses from the Hollywood pride are in grave trouble, with intruders occupying their prime hunting grounds and the four dangerous Nomad lions blocking their path home.

Sam Davies has worked in Africa all her life. Along with British cameraman Nathan Pilcher, she films as Hollywood lionesses face-off against the Nomad brothers.
