The Bastard King accompanies the life of a lion from birth through to adulthood. The cinematic hybrid of nature film and fictional storytelling shows not only the bloody struggle for survival in the wilderness, but also mechanisms of exclusion and discrimination.The Bastard King advances to an allegory of an endangered species and to a metaphor for the exploitation of the planet.
