I dvr's this back at Easter-time, and watched it today.. I watched it not as a documentary, but as a movie about a lion and her life.. I liked it very much! I do not ever like scenes where there's a predator/prey hunt in nature (I know it happens, I just feel awful seeing it) so I just kind of covered up for those parts, but other than that I rooted for Malika.. you could tell it was a "female-empowerment" themed watch, but I just watched it for the movie about a life that it was, and both cried and enjoyed it..
