The Story
| From the lush wetlands of Botswana's Okavango Delta comes the suspense-filled tale of a determined lioness ready to try anything — and willing to risk everything — to keep her family alive. In the new wildlife adventure, The Last Lions, filmmakers Dereck and Beverly Joubert follow the epic journey of a lioness named Ma di Tau ("Mother of Lions") as she battles to protect her cubs against a daunting onslaught of enemies in order to ensure their survival. |
《最后的獅子》是一部新的野生動物記錄片，情節扣人心弦。在博茨瓦納的奧卡萬戈三角洲上有一片郁郁蔥蔥的濕地，一只意志堅定的雌獅為了確保全家存活，甘冒一切風險，時刻準備著出動。這只雌獅名叫“獅子之母”，為了生存、為了保護她的幼崽，她不畏敵人的猛烈攻擊，頑強抵抗。電影制片人德瑞克?朱伯特和貝弗利?朱伯特夫婦通過跟蹤她的行跡，記錄下了這段史詩般的征程。 |
| Fleeing a raging fire and a rival pride headed by the dangerous cub-killing lioness Silver Eye, Ma di Tau and her fragile cubs must make their perilous escape by swimming a crocodile-infested river. Remote Duba Island is both a refuge and a strange new world for Ma di Tau and her cubs to conquer. On Duba, Ma di Tau must face off with the island's herd of fierce buffalo whose huge, slashing horns are among the most dangerous weapons in Africa. Although the buffalo are one of her biggest threats, they are also one of her best hopes for survival if she can prevail over them. Yet, even as Ma di Tau faces devastating loss and escalating perils, she becomes part of a stunning turning point in the power dynamics on Duba Island, bringing together a competitive rival pride in a titanic primal bid to preserve the thing that matters most: the future of their bloodlines. |
為了逃離熊熊大火，也為了躲避對手獅群
——這個獅群的頭頭是一只名叫“銀眼”的雌獅，經常獵殺幼崽，因此很危險——“獅子之母”和她脆弱的孩子們必須冒險游過一條有鱷魚出沒的河流。對于“獅子之母”和她的孩子們來說，遠方的杜巴島既是一個避難所，也是一個等待他們去征服的全新的陌生世界。在杜巴島上，“獅子之母”還得與一群兇猛的水牛相對抗，它們巨大而尖銳的牛角堪稱非洲最危險的武器之一。盡管水牛是她面臨的一個最大威脅，但只要能戰勝它們，它們也是她得以生存的最佳希望所在。然而，就在“獅子之母”損失慘重、危險不斷升級之時，杜巴島上的對陣勢力出現了戲劇性的急轉，因為“獅子之母”與競爭對手獅群得以和解，并且還聯合起來努力爭取保護它們血統的未來，而這才是最最重要的事情。 |
| The gripping real-life saga of Ma di Tau, her cubs, the buffalo, and the rival pride unfolds inside a stark reality: Lions are vanishing from the wild. In the last 50 years, lion populations have plummeted from 450,000 to as few as 20,000. Dereck and Beverly Joubert weave their dramatic storytelling and breathtaking, up-close footage around a resonating question: Are Ma di Tau and her young to be among the last lions? Or will we as humans, having seen how tough, courageous and poignant their lives in the wild are, be moved to make a difference? |
“獅子之母”、她的幼崽、水牛還有對手獅群演繹的這段真實故事在吸引眼球的同時，揭露的卻是一個殘酷的現實：獅子正從自然界中消失。在過去的50年中，獅子的數量從45萬驟降到兩萬。朱伯特夫婦通過戲劇性的故事情節和驚險的近距離鏡頭展現了一個能引發共鳴的問題：“獅子之母”和她的幼崽會不會成為地球上最后的獅子？我們人類在意識到它們生存的艱難、無畏和痛苦之后，是否會為此動容而努力去改變這種狀況？
