About Lioness in Exile
Soon after we meet Manyari, the queen of her pride, she does something both unusual and bold: She leaves the sanctuary of the clan with her young cubs and takes them on a dangerous odyssey. She makes a bid to escape because two young bloods are sniffing around, and if they take over the pride, they will kill her cubs
Directed by Kim Wolhuter, Bertrand Loyer, Benoît Demarle, Lioness in Exile leans on a strong ensemble — Nicolas Marié, Hester Wilcox — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2012.
