“If you want a feel-good nature documentary (as many hosted by Martin Clunes are), then do NOT watch u0026quot;Martin Clunes u0026amp; a Lion Called Mugieu0026quot;. While very well made and interesting, ultimately itu0026#39;s an awfully depressing film that illustrates how dire the situation is with African wildlife…particularly lions. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eClunes travels to Kenya to meet with Tony, an old assistant to George Adamson (of u0026quot;Born Freeu0026quot; fame). Apparently, after Adamson was murdered back in the 1980s, his lion rehabilitation center in Kora National Park has been allowed to rot. Now, fortunately, his old assistant and others have rebuilt the place and are welcoming their first lion. The plan is to raise and rehabilitate Mugie, a young male lion. The problem is that throughout the continent many of the wild species are being killed off by poachers and encroaching farmers. And, just how all this plays out helps to illustrate the problem. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWell made and interesting but one you might not want to show to small kids nor might you want to watch if you are depressed already.”
