The first episode 'Hunter's Playground' unpacks the headlines of the trophy hunting debate with the emotionally charged story that thrust sport hunting into the limelight: Cecil the lion. Using archive and testimony the film reveals what really happened and why it matters, asking what the future holds for lions. Professional hunter Paul Stones argues the case that the hunting industry can save Africa’s wildlife and in Gujurat's Gir Forest we meet the characters successfully working to bring back lions in India, in an area once devastated by rampant trophy hunting.

In episode 2, 'Predator in my Garden', we pull back to view a much bigger problem for the world's most iconic species. With the booming human population encroaching ever further into wild areas, we meet local communities in Africa and India living alongside lions, exploring the conflicting relationship humans have with them. We love them and yet we fear them. Can humans ever live side by side with apex predators? In Gir Forest and in Kenya, we discover enlightening stories of how people are learning to adapt their culture for conservation; to see lions as assets to be protected rather than pests to be culled.
