Green Screen Naturfilmfestival: The Lion Tree

A huge old fig tree grows in a river bed in western Zambia. It marks the territory of a lion pride which has been thriving here for years. Without any warning or explanation, the dominant male abandons the pride, leaving behind five females and their cubs. The alpha female must now lead her sisters and their young in difficult times. But soon, two very contrary lions from other prides have discovered the absence of an alpha male in the pride.
