This movie was made supposedly about George Adamson's later life. George is known because of the best selling book and the award winning movie Born Free. This movie, To Walk with Lions, is a sadly lacking film that contains multiple inaccuracies including pretending Tony took the cubs, when the truth is a person named Gareth took the cubs. The film pretends that George read books to lions. This is absurd and takes away the dignity that this much respected conservationist deserves. Then there is the awful scene showing George shot and stubbing around mumbling something. It is a movie where truth is in short supply and it unjustly strips away the dignity of a incredibly kind and gentle man. If you value and respect truth and dignity, you should not waste your time with this movie. Alternatives are Born Free, Christian the Lion, the Lions are Free and the humorous film An Elephant Called Slowly. All respectably done, fascinating and touching films. Do a web search on the name George Adamson and you will no doubt find some some fascinating information about this extraordinary man.
