“Magnificent, Inspiring, and
a brilliantly woven narrative.”
Bob Anderson, CBS 60-Minutes
PRIDE OF LIONS presents Sierra Leone in a new light — the story of
what it means for a country and its people brutalized by an 11-year
civil war to move beyond their scars.
Through personal stories of human suffering, loss, and recovery, the
Sierra Leoneans reveal universal truths about the strength of the
human spirit and the power of forgiveness to move us forward. The
amputee, the boy soldier, the doctor, the high school principal—each
has a unique perspective and a powerful story to tell. Witnessing their
ability to overcome inconceivable human atrocities and reclaim their
legacy is inspirational for most, but for the two Americans in our story
it has been life changing.
