Roar: Lions of the Kalahari 01:00 PM
Blank IMAX Dome Theater, Main Level

   

TRADITIONAL-LENGTH FILM

  

This is an epic story of power and dominance. Filmed in the stark yet beautiful expanse of the Kalahari, it details the natural behavior of lions and their prey as they attempt to survive around the last remaining waterhole in the region. Above all, it is an account of territorial conflict and the power inherent in the roar of one of the largest lions ever documented in the Kalahari.

Renowned filmmaker Tim Liversedge, who shot, directed and produced the film, spent more than two years with the lions to deliver incredible close-ups and personal shots of these amazing animals in their natural habitat.
