Private Notes
Ace Bourke and John Rendall were living in the UK when they bought Christian from Harrods pet department all those years ago. Their decision not to send him to a zoo, Christian could be returned to Africa, created what many regard as one of the most memorable wildlife films of all time.
This documentary tells the heart warming story of Christian, a lion cub purchased from a London department store in the late 60's and successfully released into the African wild three years later. Featuring original archive footage and photographs of Christian's life in London and Kenya, the story is told by all the key players in interviews filmed in 2009.
