As soon as a wild beast dies, lions will feed on its carcass for a week or more. Soon after, other scavengers will come for their share: vultures, marabou storks, and hyenas will all come to feed. Over a period of five months, using the latest techniques of macro and aerial photography, this film will follow the life and death of wild beasts, to reveal the world of the scavengers in the plains of Tanzania and Kenya.This extraordinary film features the largest wildebeest migration of the XXst century : a drought following an extreme El nino pushed all the beasts toward the green plains of Kenya. Some very unique material has been gathered during this epic shoot;like the unforgetable footage of hippos removing wilderbeest carcasses from the Mara river's oxbows or several young zebras caught in the dangerous river flow.
