“Chasing Lions” is a passion project created by three close friends who believe, as Aldo Leopold did, that the land is one organism—that no creature exists in isolation. In the rugged heart of the American Southwest, where mountain lions move like ghosts through the wilderness, a team of devoted trackers works to understand and protect them. This film is a story of connection—between predator and prey, land and life, science and spirit. It is a testament to those who dedicate themselves to the wild, not to conquer it, but to know it.
This is a story of lions, people, and the torrid relationship—at times beautiful, others brutal—ever present between mankind and our charismatic world.
