BBC Earth Wildlife Specials

Taking natural-world filmmaking to another level, this award-winning team of director and cameraman employs remote-control buggy-cameras, buried periscopes and state-of-the-art night vision technology to truly enter the lion's den.

When a lion charges, the viewers charge with it, when it rests, we lie alongside.

In what is a new achievement for lion specialists, the programme is able to examine the fragile alliances between pride males and their relationships with neighbouring rivals.
