Lions, Bones & Bullets

Penguin Random House author, Richard Peirce, leads the dramatic adventure from lion farms in South Africa to wildlife traffickers in Laos and Vietnam. He makes a shocking discovery that South African farmers are exporting thousands of dead lions to Asia for use in traditional medicine. The heart-warming tale of two lion cubs given a new life, along with positive approaches to wild lion conservation and a government intention to move away from lion farming resolves the film with positivity.
