King of Beasts

About This Movie

King of Beasts dives into the murky waters of lion trophy hunting in Africa. It's a documentary that doesn't shy away from the heavy stuff—like the ethical dilemmas surrounding this so-called sport. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, which really lets the weight of the subject sink in. You get these raw, close-up visuals that bring you face-to-face with the majestic creatures, and then the stark contrast of hunters boasting about their conquests. And the interviews? They’re a mixed bag, providing a range of perspectives that can leave you pondering long after it’s over. It’s not just another nature doc; it pushes you to think about our relationship with wildlife in a very real, gritty way.
