Where the great herds run free Darkening clouds scud across an endless expanse of plain.
Thunder rips the silence, and the roar of pounding hooves fills the air.
The dust is almost palpable. There is a place on Earth where it is still the morning of life, and the great herds still run free. Eloquently framing the film's action, these images and words set the stage for the drama of life and death on the Serengeti plains of East Africa. Refuge to the greatest concentration of wildlife on Earth, these vast grasslands harbor millions of diverse creatures. Each year, nearly 1.5 million strong, they embark on an epic journey in search of water and grass.
