"20/20" reports on the roar and the up-roar heard around the world when Cecil the Lion was HUNTED and killed by an American dentist in Zimbabwe. What really happened during the 15-hour hunt? From the first outsider who discovered the lion had been killed, to all-new details about THE KILLING and questions of whether it was almost covered up, "20/20" takes viewers to Hwange National Park where it all began - and ended for the beloved tourist attraction.

For the first time on American television, Ryan Smith reports from the African savanna, and Deborah Roberts reports from the US, giving viewers a complete picture of the controversy that has sparked criminal charges, protests, and a worldwide debate about the ethics of trophy hunting.

The hunter, Dr. Walter Palmer of Minnesota, is now the HUNTED - in hiding since returning from Africa. The hour also includes an exclusive interview with a lifelong friend of Dr. Palmer, as well as lion researchers, Hwange park officials, and other hunters who defend their sport.

"The Hunter and the Hunted" airs on "20/20" TONIGHT, AUGUST 14 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET) on ABC.

"20/20" is anchored by Elizabeth Vargas and David Muir. David Sloan is senior executive producer.

I would like to see this. However I do not have television reception at my home in Alaska. Is it possible to post it here after it is televised?

Video preview of show.

just watched the preview, Don't expect a fair shake from ABC. What a load of crap...

"who killed that beloved lion"

That tells you everything you need to know about the program right there.

Keep your friends close. your enemies closer
I'm watching it.

Watched it!! Finally stopped vomiting.

BTW, they mentioned UPS as also banning trophy shipment. Is this true and if not than anyone with UPS pull should have them threaten a lawsuit. They also said some crap about 17 airlines banning shipment.

We will find the way, boat, freight
I'd say screw them SOB's
