Description
Documentary providing an insight into how Joy Adamson's book Born Free, and its subsequent film adaptation, sparked new interest in nature and conservation in the 1960s, and introduced the world to Elsa, an orphaned lioness that she and her husband George raised at their Kenyan reserve before releasing her into the wild. The programme also details the darker side of the Adamsons' work in Africa, which eventually led them both to untimely deaths. Includes contributions from David Attenborough and Born Free actress Virginia McKenna.
Narrated by Richard Armitage.
