At a national park in Kenya, English game warden George Adamson and his wife, Joy, care for three orphaned lion cubs. After the two larger lions are shipped off to a zoo in the Netherlands, the smallest of the three, Elsa, stays with the couple. When Elsa is blamed for causing an elephant stampede in the nearby village, head warden John Kendall demands the young lion either be trained to survive in the wilds of the Serengeti or be sent to a zoo.

"I read all the books about lioness Elsa and the human Adamson family that took her in and cared for her. I was obsessed with the films about her. Beautiful footage. Such a heartbreaker showing that the options they are faced with to help Elsa thrive are not only difficult but risky & that being tasked as Elsa’s surrogate parents comes with so much responsibility as well as love.
