- Lazy relatives. Jealous neighbors. Runaway kids. The everyday troubles of one family - except this family is a pride of lions. Shot over three years during the most extreme seasonal changes in Africa, the film follows Mfumu - the pride's leader - as he struggles to defend his turf, and his mate Chipazuwa as she tries to produce offspring. Among the threats: a river infested with crocodiles that have taken every litter of cubs -- and a rival male, bent on taking over the pride.—Gary Parker

- Follow the story of a pride of lions in the Luangwa Valley in Zambia. The pride was always protected by two huge lions, but in the wet season of 2000, they both died, leaving a younger male lion to take charge. Every year since, the adult females have given birth to cubs, but have been unable to raise them to adulthood as threats from predators have proved too much for the young male lion to protect them. Can he hold off the rival male from across the river who has been eyeing his territory? Can our female lioness overcome her fear of the crocodiles that have constantly plagued her litters and on more than one occasion nearly taken her life?—Aquavision TV Productions
- Mfumu is the dominant male of the Lagoon pride of lions. An inexperienced guardian, it's unusual for a male this young to lead a pride of six females. This has not gone unnoticed by the rival male on the opposite bank. The full river keeps them apart, for now. The Lagoon pride lives on a riverbank with the highest concentration of crocodiles in the world. Crocodile attacks have consistently claimed their young, and they know that if they don't get it right this year, the pride may die out. Eventually, the dry season will descend on this valley. When the river is low, larger animals can traverse the divide with ease, even the big cats. Can Mfumu stand his ground against a hostile takeover from the rival male across the river? Will his mate, Chipazuwa win the battle of motherhood against her mortal enemy, the crocodile? Will she finally raise cubs to continue their diminishing line? These are the lions of Crocodile river.—Christo Ras
