In southern Africa’s Mashatu, one of the last bastions for free-roaming leopards, a mother leopard has just given birth. And she’ll do anything to protect her two cubs. But on this land, which is drying up by the day, the struggle for survival is fierce. A leopard war is about to break out. In this 40,000-hectare enclave plagued by climate change, resources are becoming increasingly scarce for wildlife. The leopards living there are forced to adapt, developing new behaviors that will lead to terrible interspecies clashes. Will the mother leopard be able to protect her offspring from the many dangers? Can the cubs master the art of survival? A gripping animal tale that follows the destiny of a family of felines for 3 years, in the wilds of Botswana. Thanks to cutting-edge technology (drones, high-sensitivity cameras), this film captures rare images of a fascinating species, revealing behaviors never before observed.
