Linda Tucker and her Global White Lion Protection Trust plan to bring a handful of white lions into a large enclosure near Timbavati ultimately, to release the animals into the wild. Scientists and conservationists, however, question the merit of such a venture. Watch a journey filled with challenge, controversy and tragedy. Will the lions adapt or will they fall victim to the dangers in their-wild reserve ?

BRED FOR THE BULLET™
Every single day in South Africa at least two to three captive bred or tame lions are being killed in canned hunts. And hundreds more are slaughtered annually for the lion bone trade.
The Blood Lions story is a compelling call to action to have these practices stopped.
Entry to both screenings is by ticket only, tickets for Blood Lions can be obtained from Ku Gallery from 25th February or email info@ventnorartsclub.com
