  • Almost forgot to watch this today. Making my earlier comment pointless. Then I remembered. So now I don't feel so bad.

  • I love when some people support one another against idiots who think they are doing good commenting shit on an amazing movie trailer. 

  • Aww it's really sad to watch I can't watch things like these(in full) because they make me really depressed, I end up being triggered and getting super depressed for days on end. If I was the camera crew I'd be doing everything I could(and shouldn't) to help...nature is far too cruel for my liking.

  • @RedTearsBlackWings21

    I remember hearing once one of the golden rules of filming wildlife is to simply observe and not get involved. Nature can be harsh and distressing, but hey thats life. Think of it this way perhaps, had the film crew intervened and perhaps rescued the cub it would only mean other animals along the food chain also miss out on a meal and go hungry. They have a chance for survival too. Besides who is going to look after and take care of a lame wild lion cub. You?.

  • So heart gripping .... Happy and sad all roles into 1 ...sad that the poor cub was so badly hurt u cud see the pain in the lioness eyes when she new she had to leave her.. that made me cry .... N how amazing it was to see her take on the giant Buffalo like it was pure revenge..... I would love to know how the young male cub is getting on .... Really amazing stuff .... Won't forget this movie ....

  • Let's do something significant shall we ?

  • Time to donate my .10 today.

    Be back tomorrow, to donate another .10

  • was the injured cub saved by the filming crew? I do hope they didnt leave her like this to die. I wouldn't.

  • @kasainamata the crew never save animals they never do it this is not the first time a cub badly injured dies in another film the lion cub was abandoned and die. I watch a film when a healthy cub was abandoned then a leopard appeared because the cub is crying maybe she was going to adopt that cub but then fucking hyenas appearrf and the leopard runs like a bitch and yes they eat alive the cub

  • I love you afrika.

  • This film is so beautiful and so sad...

  • We can do it! Watch as much as you can to save the Lions!

  • This movie was so fascinating and so much awesome scenes where you get the chills, or even start to cry. I love this movie, just watched it!

  • @jennydaang the only thing i dont like of the film is sometimes some footage is from another films and not of the same history for example the fight of the male lions

  • @MrBeanerKiller Yes, the same here. I remember a scene when they showed the crocodiles, it wasn't from the movie.

  • @jennydaang that´s right jenny i don´t know if you watched "african cats" of disney, i thought that will be new material forgive my languague but when i saw AC i think: WTF i watch this footage 2 years ago in natgeo wild disney robbed me don´t get me wrong i love this kind of movies but sometimes are the same footage over and over

  • @MrBeanerKiller No, I haven't watched the movie. But my friend says it's good, maybe I'll do some research on it later? I get what you mean, my reaction is the same sometimes: WTF? :)

  • This is a truly fascinating video! It is exciting, emotional, and visually stunning! You get a glimpse into how complicated the life of a lion can be! Watch this if you get a chance and help the lions while you're at it! Another extraordinary work by NG.

  • Let's get to 1 million views together!

  • As told by Scar.

  • Bah love this movie, anyone know if there is any soundtrack out for this movie or sometthing like that?

  • I'll see this video...Everyday i alway see

  • Help humans instead, starting with starving children in Somalia! GRRRRR

  • @suzsiz I say help animals first i donate to multiple charities and i think help animals because humans are not going to go extinct for a very long time where lions,tigers ext are all endangered

  • @suzsiz You should help them BOTH. If even only half the world's population would give a dollar for every cause out there, the world would be a better place because there would be enough resources to save them all, humans and animals.

    But since this is a video about lions, we should stick to lions on this page. You don't see people going on youtube pages for helping kids in poor countries posting comments about endangered animals, do you?

  • what's the name of the song from 0:58,

    thanks

  • Random Info: The announcer for this trailer was the voice of scar from the Lion King

  • BEautiful movie !! one of the best ive seen

  • I CRIED WATCHING THIS !

  • For god's sake people.......... YES! THE NARRATOR IS SCAR FROM LION KING! STOP ASKING THIS FOR THE 6787&^%&$^$*th time!!

    Is that the only thing that stuck with you after watching this?

  • @watts887

    THANK YOU! Enough already!

  • @ArchaelogistPhil I've seen both documentaries, as I love the footage, and fabricated or no, the threat of lions becoming extinct is very real.They are endangered, along with, amur tigers, leopards, snow leopards, silver backs, great whites, gray wolves,etc. The Jouberts are among the few people who haven't forgotten that we're supposed to protect these magnificent animals. So how are you helping exactly, unless you call flaunting your oh so keen sense of observation, help?

  • @watts887

    So very true. Whether or not this film is fabricated doesn't matter. What matters is: 1. It is a beautifully filmed movie and also captivating and thoroughly mesmerizing and 2. It brings awareness to a very urgent and important cause!! Bravo to the Jouberts for producing such a worthwhile film, and for all of their endless work to save the lions.

  • does anyone know that movie were the lions talk? its the same movie but the movie im talking bout...is the one where the lions talk :)

  • I love big cats, hope they live with us forever

  • outstanding work from the derek n bev..but most impressed with that bad bitch lioness..what a survivor...love it keep up the great work

  • This movie is just amazing!

  • i want this but don't know where to buy here in hkg.

  • I like and very love animals....I'll have it

  • i cried on the scene when she had to abandon her cub bcuz it could not longer walk on all four legs then they wanna play that sad ass song along with it, it was a wrap for me i couldn take it

  • Didn't jeremy irons voice Scar in lion king?

  • i saw it and i cried

  • @ArchaelogistPhil Yeah, I noticed that as well in a number of scenes. At the same time though, Ma di Tau was apparently already living on Duba Island when ReEn was filmed, so it's not impossible that some of the scenes in that film featured her as well.

  • I watched this movie in nat geo wild a month ago and cried several times. as I want to become a conservationist someday this is the kind of movie that is perfect to watch. and yes the lions of this world need to be saved and we should all do our part in saving them. Help the lions .

  • Comment removed

  • liked it very much...save the lions with every single thing u can do! if u care for them'''they r beautiful creatures

  • I like it this film so much! Favorite!

  • Its sad to think that some idiot with a gun can stop such a incredible life journey in a second. I live close to the kruger national park and we constantly hear of Rhino's being poached. We need to take action. Please read on the subject and help where u can

  • Well done to Derek, Beverley and Graham. It gives me a kick to know the Panasonic camera was used on this shoot. I use the HPX2700 Varicam for my stock footage.

  • FANTASTIC cant wait till its released in australia..at the rate there being killed off mybe in 50 years time you might only get to see them in zoos .??hope not

  • @ArchaelogistPhil So I want my money back.

  • got chills watching this movie... wow...

  • AMAZING!

  • the first movie in my life that i admire and want to keep the movie for my children & grandchildren

  • @ArchaelogistPhil have u ever wonder how many hour that it takes to make such movie?

    and by looking to the bright side this movie make watch another lion's movie isn't that inspirational ?

  • this movie should be an inspiration to single moms everywhere

  • Awsome movie.

  • This Movie was amazing!!! Got the chills !

    A must watch film!

  • Amazing movie! You guys need to watch it. 10/10!

  • What's the songs played in the trailer? Thanks.

  • SPOILER ALERT DO NOT READ BELOW THIS LINE

  • most amazing wildlife documentary i have seen. never cried that much just by watching a wildlife documentary. captivating, touching, better then any fake hollywood movie!!!

  • This was a sad, and happy film. 2 of the cubs died..

  • @Junde801 whatever happened to "spoiler alert" gona watch the dvd today

  • Wow this looks amazing. Oh and did you guys know that Jeremy Irons was the voice of Scar in The Lion King and now he's narrating a lion movie? I just thought that was ironic ^^

  • Does anyone know how to contact the people at youtube to let them know there is something wrong with the view-counter?? It's been the same number of views for over a week now!

  • Why hasn't the number of views changed in several days???

  • @elsamere

    I was wondering the same thing it has been at least a week.............

  • @frios011

    It's nature. Meaning its natural. Man, at his core, has the exact same survival instincts. We ravage & devour the resources of the earth the same as lions do their prey. Only difference is they do it for survival, we do it out of greed & ignorance. Do u not understand that all animals are part of delicate circle of life. Wake up

  • @demcowbys82

    So very true. Well said.

  • @demcowbys82 animals are the same as us the other lion pride was fought them just for land

  • @frios011

    You are so misguided. 

  • Wow. That is the greatest thing I have EVER watched. WOW

  • does anyone know where i can get the soundtrack to this amazing movie?

  • where can i watch this? i reaaly wanna watch it..

  • What a gut wrenching story ! Motherhood is the same across all species. As a mother some scenes were too painful to watch. Cried copiously when the maimed cub was left behind. I still have my stomach in knots. Please ple..............ase let us save these beautiful and majestic cats.

  • @ucmutt most sad thing i have ever seen in a movie that part.. damn.. cant stop thinking about it.. poor cub

  • The number of views hasn't changed for a couple of days. What's up with that?

  • I saw this movie the other night on Nat Geo Wild, & I have to admit, it's truly a wonderful film although, there was a small part of it that broke my heart, but unfortunately it does happen particlarly w/ cubs.

    Anyway, we need to SERIOUSLY GET THIS THING GOING in order to save these truly magnificent creatures.

    And I just want to say to the 13 people who DISLIKE this video, WOW! I have absolutely NO Respect for you...All you care about is YOURSELF & That's just plain SAD!

  • Is the narrator on this the person who did the voice for Scar in The Lion King?

  • @krnmcvy

    Yes! It's actor Jeremy Irons. He's got such a unique voice you can't miss it !

  • to see what man has done to all of God's creatures is sooo stomach churning and sick that I am willing to do whatever to help out organizations to help keep numbers up for all animals

  • This trailer made me cry :'(

    So beautiful. I love big cats more than anything.

    I really hope everyone realizes what is happening to these animals in time before they are all gone forever. </3

    If you have not seen the movie already, I encourage you to do so. A Very inspirational and powerful piece.

  • @smildonfatalis1 Same here. I've been a big cat lover as far back asI can remember. Used to watch Zoo Parade & Wild Kingdom with my dad,another big cat lover. BTW, love your username......sabre toothed tiger!

  • @guenwyvar99 Yes omfg!

    You're the first person to ever know what that means! <3

    Have you seen Big Cat Diary? :)

  • any one knows where I can buy this dvd from?

  • @omerkhanjadoon1 Amazon, but not until January.

  • @omerkhanjadoon1 walmart

  • @omerkhanjadoon1 you can go to CauseAnUproar[.]org and buy it from there, and the best part is that all the profit goes to NatGeo's Big Cat Foundation, so you're helping these amazing cats and all their big cat cousins

  • sweet movie

  • I looked at it recently and this documentary is phenomenal!

  • i watched this movie.its sweet.

  • An Oscar worthy film that is raw, brutal, unapologetic, and incredibly beautiful all at the same time. It truly captures the authenticity of nature and the wild. I love the courageous and brilliant work that you do (Dereck and Beverly) and can't thank you enough for your devotion to these amazing creatures and for sharing their story.

  • @xtosboston Could not have said it better. A truly inspiring film, one that is SO important. The Jouberts are amazing. Their work, their dedication, their passion for these magnificent animals is something we should all be grateful for; and something we should all work hard to preserve and respect and treasure. Can you imagine a world without lions? I can't.

  • @xtosboston i agree, i want this movie because of reasons

  • This is one of the best documentaries ive seen since planet earth Natgeo really aced it this is the titanic of documentaries.

  • Great animals

  • this is the voice of scar from the lion king!!!!!

  • O.o

  • Refresh the page to get more viewers!

    Thumb up please!

  • i WISH the movie was playing in my area! sadly it is not even close to where I live. I would love to buy the DVD when(if) it becomes available. I noticed there IS a companion book--which I JUST ordered. I want to do all I can to help these magnificent, wondrous creatures.

  • The new "African Cats by Disney" was really good except in the beginning when they used the ugliest king lion "Bane" w/ a huge broken tooth hanging from his mouth ..and the other tooth was so yellow I almost threw up b/c his mouth looked sooooo nasty lol

  • There's a scene in the movie that's like nothing I have ever seen. It brought everyone to tears. The saddest thing.

  • @terrywoo1

    I know the scene you are referring to. I couldn't stop sobbing. It bothered me for days. I still cry when I think about it. I can't imagine filming that scene. Heart-wrenching.

  • @elsamere Last lions on Nat geo this sunday! 

  • @terrywoo1 Third time seeing this.........and awesome as ever! Thanks for the heads up.

  • @elsamere me too, My stomach still in knots. I sobbed hysterically. How could they have filmed it without crying buckets of tears ?

  • I view over and over. Getting more money for the big cats. We are all making a big difference for them.

  • 30 thousand dollars to the lions, yay!

  • Working on more views. :)

  • The Last lions will be on Nat Geo! Nat Geo Channel Nov 13 at 8pm EST and then again on Nat Geo Wild on Dec 16, in conjunction with Big Cats Week. Mark your calendars!

  • When can we purchase the movie? I live on the Ohio/Michigan border and the closest the movie was playing was in Detroit which is 50 miles from my home. Why couldn't it have been shown in Toledo, Ohio?

  • @deanna1938 I've been waiting forever for a DVD release. I don't think they're going to do it. It's really sad.

  • @YouTodayKing

    The DVD is said to be released January 2012. Can't wait!

  • Us humans need to stop messing up this beautiful planet! We are not the only life form here.

  • Lol the narrator is the same person who did the voice of Scar in the lion king

  • @Woeler3

    It is the voice of Jeremy Irons. ( awesome voice ). He also narrated the Joubert's other stunning film, "Eye Of The Leopard".

  • I watch nat geo wild all the time and do not remember seeing ads for this. I can't beleive I missed it. When is the dvd coming out ?

  • "... And then, after hyenas have caused a stampede, I shove the alpha male into their path. LONG LIVE THE KING!"

  • i think we should do something reality to help big cats instead of discussing how to help them

  • I LOVE LIONS.

  • watch?v=ZrP3P68QPqs :)  (not spam!!!)

  • hope it reach 1 million views in a short time.

  • $29,380.9 Has been made with this video! KEEP IT UP!

  • Will this be on DVD sometime soon?

  • post this video link to all social network to get extra help

  • Save the big cats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it makes me sooo sad to think about how big cats are dieing jusk like dinosaures i want to do somthing so what i am going to do is "CAUSE AN UP ROAR"!!!

  • Yes, Send this to everyone you know!!

  • Can somebody please tell me where I can buy a DVD or purchased download of this film? Last time I checked Nat Geo doesn't ship these things out of America for Copyright purposes or something like that. I would really love to own my own copy of this film for my personal inventory!

    This seems like such a great Doccie..

  • @raphi2006 - It will come out on DVD & Blu-ray later this year --- rumor is an Oct. 18 release, but not sure on that... you should be able to get it then on Amazon as well as other retailers.

  • Scar knows what to do - push the barely surviving baby lions into the path of an oncoming stampede of wildebeest. Surely Tina Turner would've been a more respectful choice of narrator given her former glorious mane (not you Ike).

    Seriously though, people who can eat at a time when lions are going hungry makes me even more sick.

  • anyone know where i can watch it online for free

  • @kcatromero If you are really interested in saving these beautiful cats, you need to PAY to see this film as part of your ticket goes to support conservation projects. People like you make me sick.

  • guys lets try to bankrupt nat geo by giving this insane amounts of views

  • i think people all over the world, especially millionaires should donate or do something to save these big cats, especially the siberian leopard or tigers or some of which are seriously endangered

  • it's .10$ per view

  • is it $10 or $0.10 per view?

  • Secrets by One Republic + This Video = :) Nice Fit.

  • it makes me so sad that people actually kill these beautiful animals for status or pleasure or for moneyy . We need to stop people from killinq alll the biq cats .

  • Has anyone been able to see the film yet?

  • @TheDeac65 I saw it when in first premiered earlier this year in Southern California. Unfortunately documentaries don't have extended runs in commercial theaters and it was gone after just a couple of weeks. It is beautifully filmed and memoraable. It will continue to haunt your thoughts for a long time after you've seen it.

  • Post link to twit & facebook.

  • I watch every day, several times... Come on! We need to get more views!

  • wanna go see this documentary type movie now :P

  • Thats Scars voice :D

  • God's creation is perfect.. it's mind blowing

  • @Spookz47 I feel insulted when you don't appreciate nature's beauty but a god's. It's sad really.

  • @turreu Who said I didn't appreciate the beauty? Its my beliefs and I apologize if it offended you.

  • @Spookz47 It's evolution baby. But otherwise strongly agree...

  • @kopassz Holly Molly! u said the bad word! now you are going to hell haha

  • @kopassz Evolution is illogical. A Creator is a lot more logical than something just happening out of pure explosion of molecules. As we've seen in the past, explosions do not cause order. This was still a beautiful movie though.

  • @OldshcoolTypeSoul I don't know why you think that evolution is an "explosion of molecules", because it is not. It is a very slow process indeed. On one hand it is very logical (survival of the fittest, adaptation) on the other hand random. Evolution exists because living things adapt. It does not have a goal, it is not a being, it does not have a mind. It is a complex of processes. In this way, you are right, it is not logical, as neither is beliving in a being you never saw

  • @Spookz47 (bowdown)

  • Comment removed

  • @linasofia71 dont worry every view counts, Youtube cant update every thousandth of a second(its impossible) so it will probably update after afew hours

  • It is so sad to know that we can spend millions going to the movies, in royal weddings, watching a reality show about nothing where nothing ever happens, and be unable to watch a 1 minute video to save some of the most amazing animals in the world, or to think, at least think, about the 780,000 children that are starving in Somalia. It is our decision to change this world and save it.

  • we need to do this

  • EVERYONE SPREAD THE WORD WE CAN DO THIS BIG CATS WILL LIVE!!!!

  • hey!!! I feel like I know that voice... isn't that professor snape???! nope, it's narrated by Jeremy Irons, close... he he
