Description
For ages the story of the ancient rivalry between two of Africas
most bitter eternal enemies has been shrouded in the secrecy of
darkness. Each night is like a battlefield as this war of wits
plays itself out between the hyenas and the lions of saut in
Botswana. Dereck and Beverly Joubert have studied and filmed the lions in
Savute since 1981. Because of the unique privilege of working at
night they have at lastbeen able to bring to the screen the truth
about how lions and hyenas behave in the darkness.
This is a story of one clan of hyenas and one pride of lions as
they interact with their neighbours and with each other, surviving
each night only by displaying strength and aggression, in what can
be best described as a blood feud between two eternal enemies.
