Real Life Footage Of Elsa The Lioness

This is a film of the cubs that were rescued by George Adamson and became famous through the Born Free book and film. The film was shot by Geoff Stoakes who was in the Kenya Police stationed in Isiolo. The boy in the film is his son Mike hence the title of the film. The film features Joy Adamson, Helen Stoakes and Patty the hyrax as well as an unknown man. It is the only known footage of the cubs as Joy didn’t have a camera until quite a bit later.
