CHRISTIAN THE LION MEETING THE ACTORS AND DIRECTORS OF “BORN FREE” AND becomes a TV and documentary star.

True story from the writing of men who raised Christian. “One day quite by coincidence, the actors from the movie Born Free popped into the antique shop where they met Christian, who was getting very big and although he was living a charmed life, it was thought that he would not fare well, long term, in a city environment.
The actors suggested that John and Ace consult with George Adamson to rehabilitate Christian into the African wild. George was a British conservationist and an advocate of lions in Kenya, who together with his wife, Joy, raised and released Elsa the lioness from the movie Born Free. The couple agreed to reintegrate Christian into the wild at their compound in the Kora National Reserve.

George had even selected a small lion pride to which Christian could join when he was ready.
Christian’s small pride suffered many challenges over the first year including losing its leader. Christian, convertible passenger, seaside stroller and all-around good cat became head of his own pride.
George shared the successful reintegration of Christian with John and Ace who missed their furry friend so they planned a visit and were filmed for the documentary Christian, The Lion at World’s End. The men were cautioned that Christian may not remember them.
This was not the case – Christian remembered”!

Next, the final contact and Christian the Lion go into movie history.
