Lions, Bones & Bullets to Screen at Monte-Carlo TV Festival
Lions, Bones & Bullets, narrated by Peter Egan (
Harry Potter,
Chariots of Fire).
The character-driven doc feature, produced by Jagged Peak Films, reveals the underbelly of what the world thought was “lion trophy hunting” but in reality, is the mass production, commercialization and domestication of Africa’s wildlife for traditional Chinese medicine. Told through an adventure story, author Richard Peirce travels from lion farms in South Africa to dealers in Southeast Asia to uncover the elaborate wildlife con. The film also explores realistic alternatives.
Lions, Bones & Bullets will screen on June 21 at 7 p.m. in the Grimaldi Forum, Monaco.
