When Lambs Become Lions

About This Movie

When Lambs Become Lions offers an intimate glimpse into the complex world of wildlife conservation and poaching in Kenya. It’s this strange, gripping dance between a second-generation poacher and a conservationist, and it's fascinating to see how their lives intertwine. The documentary's fly-on-the-wall style creates a raw, almost uncomfortable tension. You really feel the weight of the choices each character has to make. It dives deep into themes like survival and moral ambiguity, and you can tell the director, Jon Kasbe, has a real knack for capturing the harsh beauty of the Kenyan landscape, which adds another layer to the whole experience. You won’t find flashy effects here, just real people and their real struggles.
