Synopsis:

The African King (2002)
The African King follows the harsh and competitive life of Addo, a male lion born into a successful pride. In his early days, life in the pride is easy and food is plentiful. In his second year, the rains fail to come and his life changes forever. Food becomes scarce and tension spreads through the pride. When two strange males invade the pride's territory, life, as Addo knows it, is over and he is forced to flee. Viewers follow Addo as he escapes near death from the intruding aggressive males, learns the harsh realities of survival and becomes a powerful adult in The African King. This is a unique program about loneliness and brotherhood, exile and survival, power and leadership.
