At the Gir Forest Sanctuary in Gujarat, the last remaining population of Asiatic Lions – a species that once covered much of Europe and Asia but nearly went extinct – has rebounded dramatically. In fact, their population has grown to the point that the small Sanctuary can’t contain them, and they rove the surrounding countryside, preying on cattle in rural villages. India’s Wandering Lions combines winsome wildlife filmmaking with a nuanced exploration of what happens when a triumph of conservation unexpectedly creates conflict between humans and animals.
