Touching Story of Elsa. the Lioness
This movie was a "made for TV" movie broadcast in the mid-1960's. It touched my young heart then, and it still does today, despite the passing of many decades. The story of Elsa the Lioness is truly a story of heartbreak, love, and inspiration. Joy and George Adamson become the "parents" of three orphaned lion cubs. They tenderly raise them to young adulthood and then send two away to a zoo, while Elsa remains with them. Joy Adamson refused to send Elsa to a zoo and instead teaches her how to live free in the wilds of Kenya. You will cry tears of joy as you watch this story unfold and then conclude. Suitable for family viewing, this is a wonderful film for the entire family to love and enjoy. Most highly recommended.kone
