Synopsis: Narrated by renowned naturalist and three-time Emmy Award-winner Sir David Attenborough (Asia, Planet Earth III), the major new six-part natural history series chronicles the dramatic real-life sagas of four African animal families, in one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken by BBC Studios Natural History Unit. Filmed across five years in a single spectacular location, the lives and fates of our four families – leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, and lions – are inextricably linked as they strive for a foothold in a remote and fertile river valley in Zambia. As well as the intense power struggles between these top predators, the series shows how a colorful supporting cast, from powerful elephant herds to flocks of hamerkops to troops of marauding baboons, impact our central characters in surprising ways.
