I watched it last week. It is two hours long and interesting. It chronicles the life of a young female leopard and her mother, as the young leopard grows into adulthood. Then, unfortunately, at the very end, they run a written notice that says that over 2000 leopards are hunted and killed every year in Africa. So, the antis got their message across loud and clear.

Kind of spoiled it for me too.

That little bit at the end soured me too.

One scene with a baboon was fascinating.

The NGS has always had an anti-hunting streak in it. It began when David Wolper made films for them and crops up from time to time. Likely depends on the individual producer.

I guess I'll pass in that case. Thanks for the notice.

Derek Joubert (producer and photographer) has done more to abolish hunting in Botswana than anyone alive. Inch by inch, he's getting his way.
