Wonderful film. People have criticized Joy Adamson because she was harsh to most human beings, but what she did and the impact of her book on wildlife rehabilitation are both so great that it is hard to measure them. When she rehabilitated Elsa, and later, she and her husband cared for the cubs when Elsa died, and released them back into the wild, she started something! See the films Living Free and A Lion Named Christian (AKA The Lion Who Thought He Was People).
