Synopsis:
This wonderous true adventure from the best-selling novel about a woman who raised a lioness and eventually set her free is beautifully phographed on the vast, golden savannas of Africa. 'Born Free' is a story of courage and love, nature and human nature, and a relationship unlike any other ever filmed. When game warden George Adamson (Bill Travers) is forced to kill a menacing lion and lioness, he and his wife Joy (Virginia McKenna) adopt their three cubs. Two are sent off to zoos, but the third is kept - a female they name Elsa - to which they have become particularly attached.
When Elsa becomes a full-grown lioness, the Adamsons realise that she must be set free and taught to survive on her own. A year later the Adamsons return to the savanna and are surprised by a very special welcome from their old friend.
