In 1969, two young Australians walked into Harrods department store in London and did something unthinkable: they bought a lion cub.

For one impossible year, they raised Christian in the middle of Chelsea. In a furniture shop. In church gardens. On the streets of London. But lions grow. And when Christian became too big, too wild, too dangerous for the city, they faced an impossible choice.

They chose Africa. They chose freedom. They let him go.

One year later, against all advice, they returned to find him. What happened on that hill in Kenya became one of the most powerful moments of connection between humans and animals ever documented.

This is their story. This is Christian's story. And it will change how you think about love, memory, and what it means to let go.
