The Last Lions (2011) - Official Trailer [HD]

Fifty years ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20,000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, which are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords. This is the jumping-off point for a disturbing, well-researched and beautifully made cri de coeur from husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, award-winning filmmakers from Botswana who have been Explorers-in-Residence at National Geographic for more than four years. Pointing to poaching as a primary threat while noting the lion's pride of place on the list for eco-tourists-an industry that brings in 200 billion dollars per year worldwide-the Jouberts build a solid case for both the moral duty we have to protect lions (as well as other threatened "big cats," tigers among them) and the economic sense such protection would make.

Coming to theatres on February 18, 2011
Directed by: Dereck Joubert
Narrated by: Jeremy Irons

All animals should live in harmony in the circle of life! Don't trust this movie! It's just propaganda for Scar's new regime!

@Fodvorte Ooooh, you're talking about illuminati..........

Forget I said anything.

[Fodvorte]

@watts887 so what? i dont see any of the other movies have the same illuminati context as this does. Scar? Doing a narration of a lion's movie? I dont think so, dude.

[watts887]

@Fodvorte What's wrong with Jeremy Irons doing the voice for a normal nature film? And why isn't that possible? WTF? Because he voiced an evil lion in a disney movie, now his whole cinema career revolves around that? Seriously? Man, what logic you have.....

You should know he also voiced another series of documentaries: Relentless Enemies, Eye of the leopard, Predators at war, The Civil War, Icelandic Volcanoes, Who is Next?,etc.

There are many other celebs who narrated others.

[Fodvorte]

@Saavedra3030 yeah, cause they would make jeremy irons do the voice for a normal nature flick.. yeah, right

[teewoods]

@mdendulk

its not for kids (well sensitive kids) but you can see they were careful not to show any blood and gore.

[Saavedra3030]

@Fodvorte how so ? its just nature recorded so i dont think so lmao

[ams44111]

Guys, his name is Jeremy Irons, not "the man who does Scar's voice from the Lion King".

[ulyot26]

The best documentary i've seen yet since ONE LIFE. You guys should definitely watch this one.

[techTVids]

what most ppl dont see is that they are our enemy, and if we didn't have a good brain they'd kill us
