Born Free is on Again - Elsa can't get enough TV.

[John Campbell]

I didn't see Living Free...didn't know they made it into a movie? Were Bill Traverse and Virginia McKenna starred in it as well?
Haven't seen Elsa's Legacy either, but I've heard of it. I think there is another documentary that features George Adamson's life...I've been meaning to try and find it. I am obsessed with him...such a tragic death. I read all of his autobiographies. This quote made me cry "Who will now care for the animals, for they cannot look after themselves? Are there young men and women who are willing to take on this charge? Who will raise their voices, when mine is carried away on the wind, to plead their case?"

Yes.. Living free was the sequel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Living_Free and also on IMBD: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068866/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

Also the other one is a documentary called (Nature: Elsa's Legacy: The Born Free Story) George and Joy Adamson as well as Elsa and Little Elsa as herself from archive footage. You can see more on it at: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1799351/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1 but the DVD shown is the wrong DVD Cover.

Yeah haha I checked it out after I posted that....was it any good? I saw Bill and Virginia weren't in it. It obviously didn't reach the fame that Born Free did. I tried to watch Elsa's Legacy online but I am Canadian so the internet hates me. I am watching To Walk with Lions though...have you seen that one? It is more what happened after the Born Free stories...following Tony Fitzjohn as he moved to Kora and worked with George. Boy, the lion who played Elsa's mate, was released at Kora. He got in a fight with another male lion in Meru, so George took him to Kora as he was unable to continue working at Meru. George's assistant went out one night to put garbage out and was crouching down, and Boy pounced on him and killed him. George had to kill Boy then. So sad, Boy was his favourite. He is buried next to him.
