In the heart of South Africa, curious filmmaker Oluwatamilore Adeshiyan sets out on a safari in search of the iconic Big Five—but what begins as a personal adventure quickly transforms into a deeper reckoning with the state of wildlife preservation.
I Went Looking for Lions is a poetic and introspective documentary that moves beyond spectacle to interrogate the fragile balance between nature and human interference. Through stunning aerial cinematography, personal narration, and exclusive wildlife footage, the film reveals not just the majesty of Africa’s wild, but the urgency to protect it.
Shot in Pilanesberg and enhanced with licensed visuals from across the continent, this story is both intimate and global—a reflection on conservation, captivity, and the silent heroes fighting to keep the circle of life intact.
What starts as a simple search for lions becomes a call to action: to see, to learn, and to preserve.
