Summary: Join Anthony "Ace" Bourke and John Rendall for this illustrated account of the story of Christian, the lion cub purchased at Harrods and raised in London until it was evident he needed a proper home. As the now famous YouTube video portrayed, Christian was flown to Africa and introduced into the wild where he thrived. This talk reveals the story behind the final reunion depicted in that video.
