“For lion populations across Africa, the world is closing in and changing” - Anthony Ham
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Lost Boy Productions, in proud partnership with the Southern African Conservation Trust, presents: A Place For Us, a 7-part podcast series from award-winning filmmaker Bruce Donnelly. Together with world-renowned lion conservationist, Dr. Paul Funston, the team sets out on a challenging road trip across Southern and Central Africa to uncover the numerous threats and trials facing Africa's last remaining wild lions and the extraordinary people and projects working to try safeguard their future.
The series is a fully-immersive experience, bringing audiences along every part of the journey and deep into the heart of Africa and our story. From Namibia's Skeleton Coast through the vast Kavango-Zambezi transfrontier, along the Rift Valley and into the Greater Limpopo and Kruger National Park, A Place For Us reveals a continent undergoing remarkable change. But with climate crisis, habitat loss and the world's fastest-growing human population continuing to mount enormous pressure on the last-remaining and critical prides, it begs the question we set out to answer: Is there a place for lions in Africa's future?
“It’s when lions become still and are no longer heard in the night, that you know there’s trouble in the land” - Dr. Paul Funston
