When Lambs Become Lions

When Lambs Become Lions

21st TDF: Greek Premiere

In the Kenyan bush, where everyday life is a fight for survival, a small-time ivory dealer struggles to make do, in spite of all the obstacles and the challenges. Seeking for help, he turns to his younger cousin, a conflicted wildlife ranger who hasn’t been paid in months. Together they will try to find the end of the tunnel. A documentary about the real jungle out there: the savage world of man, where injustice and exploitation are the rules of the game.
