Roar: Lions of the Kalahari tells the story of lions living near an African water hole teeming with wildlife. When a young lion tries to dethrone the lion king, the elder lion wages the battle of his life to defend his home and offspring in Botswana. Tim Liversedge, who shot, directed, and produced the film, spent more than two years with the lions to deliver incredible close-ups and personal shots of these amazing animals in their natural habitat.
