Brothers in Blood: The Lions of Sabi Sand (2015)

I rarely write reviews. I am usually content with rating movies. But this documentary is extraordinary. I love lions for their majestic appearance, their power, their strength and leadership. But this documentary showed the raw & brutal nature of life for lions. To survive they have to dominate period. And boy did the Mapogos dominate other male lions by unleashing unprecedented terror.Mr.T is the pablo escobar of Sabi sands and this documentary is the Narcos I of Lion world.

I always find Discovery Channel documentaries as fascinating and new things to learn, enhance knowledge and feel the same astonishing moments while making these documentaries. By watching Brothers in Blood: The Lions of Sabi Sand, it is entirely different from any documentary that we mostly see how a lion's pride hunt as a team and whole pride stay together.Again, I really appreciate all the team members' work for making Brothers in Blood: The Lions of Sabi Sand, as one of the greatest documentary ever made on the life of lions.

One of the most fascinating documentary i've ever seen. Great scenery, great story, smart commentaries and lots of love of those great animals. This film is a must see for or lion lovers and fans of wild nature. Great work and masterpiece of long work (this film took 16 years to be made).So hope that creators of the film will make something more about wildlife in Africa. All in all is 10 out of 10. Recommended for everyone except children. This film shows lots of cruel things. But the reality is so. Now we now what male lions are really are and why they are called kings.

One of the most fascinating powerful documentaries to date. This gives one the other side of the coin, how ferocious lions really are. It keeps one on the edge of the chair from beginning to end. The footage and interviews are perfectly put together and even some of the clips I recall over the years from You Tube. As a South African I had the opportunity to visit the reserve next to the Sabi Sands, the Manyeleti Game Reserve, where the pack of Selati lions are roaming, so the saga continues. See link to the blog of Tintswalo Safari Lodge of the Selati males and for the first time they have cubs now, blog dated 15-16 October. Shocking, fascinating, unpleasant, sickening, and then loving, amazing and fantastic how one's emotions took a roller coaster just watching this amazing footage taken over 16 years making this documentary. The guides and people being interviewed was done so superbly and to see how many emotions were involved in the making of this documentary absolutely gave this a top score. Not recommended for younger viewers for the footage is very shocking at times. I hope that this documentary to be entered at Cannes and if this does not walk away with a win it should get many awards anywhere else.If you are a wildlife lover and enjoy the African wildlife type documentaries, from Sir David Attenborough's "Africa", Animal Planet or NatGEO, this should be added to the collection of top best Wild Life documentaries of most recent years ever filmed.Please let me know where this can be ordered from and will it be available on Amazon?
