1
00:00:22,758 --> 00:00:26,000
Many tales
have been told of Africa.
2
00:00:29,448 --> 00:00:32,793
-But this is our story.
3
00:00:32,827 --> 00:00:37,137
A drama set
in the heart of our world,
4
00:00:37,172 --> 00:00:40,000
experienced as we live
and breathe it.
5
00:00:45,689 --> 00:00:48,068
As we fought
for our families,
6
00:00:50,793 --> 00:00:52,965
competition grew fierce.
7
00:00:55,724 --> 00:00:57,241
Armies were built.
8
00:00:58,379 --> 00:01:00,551
Battles waged.
9
00:01:00,586 --> 00:01:04,137
Now we face
the final reckoning.
10
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:12,172
Here is the last chapter
of this story in a place
they call Serengeti.
11
00:01:44,724 --> 00:01:49,103
In our land,
lives are determined
by the whim of others.
12
00:01:49,137 --> 00:01:52,172
In these moments,
our fate is decided.
13
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Each day,
the great herds journey far
just to quench their thirst.
14
00:02:06,241 --> 00:02:08,379
Gnu is among them,
15
00:02:10,793 --> 00:02:15,103
blissfully unaware
of what lurks below.
16
00:02:53,517 --> 00:02:58,379
Gnu escapes,
but others won't.
17
00:03:13,931 --> 00:03:18,068
In the mayhem,
mothers and calves
must stay together.
18
00:03:31,413 --> 00:03:34,586
Gnu survives this test.
19
00:03:40,172 --> 00:03:42,586
He found his mother, too.
20
00:03:53,241 --> 00:03:57,034
Shani and her foal
also made it back.
21
00:03:58,482 --> 00:04:01,344
But the river
is still calling.
22
00:04:03,413 --> 00:04:08,724
Soon, the herds will return
as their moment
of reckoning arrives.
23
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:13,448
The great
river crossing awaits.
24
00:04:23,724 --> 00:04:28,241
For one young gazelle,
the worst
has already happened.
25
00:04:30,172 --> 00:04:34,379
Tamu's mother was killed
by the black-maned lions.
26
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,000
Now, his only company
are those he passes.
27
00:04:57,827 --> 00:05:01,586
A lonely fawn
has few friends.
28
00:05:06,551 --> 00:05:10,034

32
00:05:31,137 --> 00:05:34,034
Tamu has many enemies.
33
00:06:04,275 --> 00:06:07,379
He has gained
both speed and experience.
34
00:06:16,137 --> 00:06:18,206
But without his mother
to shield him,
35
00:06:18,241 --> 00:06:22,620
Tamu is fair game
for every passing predator.
36
00:06:36,137 --> 00:06:39,413
There is no greater threat
to the young and innocent
37
00:06:39,448 --> 00:06:42,034
than a river
that must be crossed.
38
00:06:54,241 --> 00:06:57,551
From far and wide,
the herds are gathering.
39
00:07:10,896 --> 00:07:15,862
Above the fray,
life for the baboons has
taken a turn for the better.
40
00:07:15,896 --> 00:07:18,758
Especially for Bakari.
41
00:07:22,862 --> 00:07:26,000
The rival males
have settled into the troop.
42
00:07:27,586 --> 00:07:30,551
Chaka is no longer threatened.
43
00:07:30,586 --> 00:07:34,793
And she and Bibi
have made peace.
44
00:07:39,103 --> 00:07:43,103
But there's plenty to disturb
their newfound harmony.
45
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,896
With the migration surging,
the herds are everywhere.
46
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,482
Fine when
you're above it all.
47
00:08:00,241 --> 00:08:03,862
Not so peaceful
when you come to ground.
48
00:08:10,137 --> 00:08:12,965
He's facing an invasion.
49
00:08:28,103 --> 00:08:32,000
Where Bakari leads,
the others go, too.
50
00:08:47,862 --> 00:08:50,724
Chaka must consider her baby.
51
00:08:59,103 --> 00:09:01,413
She'll pick her moment.
52
00:09:09,551 --> 00:09:11,931
But they're everywhere.
53
00:09:26,482 --> 00:09:28,793
And still they come.
54
00:09:59,241 --> 00:10:02,310
Bakari must find his troop
safe refuge,
55
00:10:02,344 --> 00:10:04,517
far from the chaos.
56
00:10:07,931 --> 00:10:11,275
Tamu is in the thick of it,
57
00:10:13,586 --> 00:10:17,448
away from the herd
to which he belongs.
58
00:10:32,206 --> 00:10:35,275
Here, orphans are easily lost.
59
00:10:50,034 --> 00:10:53,620
And sometimes found.

He will never find

67
00:11:40,103 --> 00:11:42,862
But he will find family...
68
00:11:48,965 --> 00:11:51,551
And company his own image.
69
00:11:57,172 --> 00:12:01,586
He'll need their protection.
Threats are everywhere.
70
00:12:12,206 --> 00:12:16,310
The cheetahs still depend on
their mother for everything.
71
00:12:18,517 --> 00:12:23,103
While Duma was lost and alone,
he struggled to survive.
72
00:12:30,413 --> 00:12:33,931
He still relies on Aiyisha
to catch a meal...
73
00:12:39,655 --> 00:12:41,793
And just plays at hunting.
74
00:12:52,103 --> 00:12:55,620
He must show that
he can hunt for real.
75
00:13:04,275 --> 00:13:06,793
And keep focus.
76
00:13:33,517 --> 00:13:37,793
For Aiyisha, a gazelle herd
is rich in opportunities.
77
00:13:38,689 --> 00:13:42,344
An orphaned fawn?
Almost too easy.
78
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:52,931
Once more,
Aiyisha takes the lead.
79
00:14:21,034 --> 00:14:23,068
But she's misjudged him.
80
00:14:26,034 --> 00:14:28,241
Tamu doesn't make it easy.
81
00:14:45,586 --> 00:14:48,000
His agility saved him.
82
00:14:50,275 --> 00:14:52,655
Aiyisha hasn't fared so well.
83
00:14:57,517 --> 00:15:00,448
The twists and turns
took their toll.
84
00:15:04,896 --> 00:15:08,000
The great huntress is wounded.
85
00:15:17,241 --> 00:15:22,379
And just like that, suddenly,
her cubs must hunt
for themselves.
86
00:15:27,482 --> 00:15:31,000
We all must face
our own rite of passage.
87
00:15:37,137 --> 00:15:40,655
For the zebras,
that time
is fast-approaching.
88
00:15:48,620 --> 00:15:51,000
They're on the move once more.
89
00:15:55,896 --> 00:15:58,620
Shani's foal
stays close to his mother.
90
00:15:59,793 --> 00:16:02,931
His whole life
has led to this moment.
91
00:16:18,689 --> 00:16:22,517
Today, they must
cross the river.
92
00:16:24,620 --> 00:16:27,137
The waters are rising.
93
00:16:34,517 --> 00:16:37,965
And enemies wait
in its depths.
94
00:17:24,482 --> 00:17:29,379
Where there's danger,
Punda, their stallion,
goes first.
95
00:17:33,724 --> 00:17:37,862
Shani's foal
needs all the protection
he can give.
96
00:17:42,655 --> 00:17:45,310
Punda tests the waters.
97
00:17:52,827 --> 00:17:56,586
The foal's fate rests
on what he finds.
98
00:18:06,068 --> 00:18:09,724
If all goes well,
they must be ready to follow.
99
00:18:20,862 --> 00:18:23,103
They are wise to wait.
100
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,758
Punda is already in
too deep...
101
00:18:55,896 --> 00:18:59,103
Although still alert
to danger.
102
00:19:11,896 --> 00:19:15,413
They must find
a safer place to cross.
103
00:19:30,379 --> 00:19:34,896
With Aiyisha injured,
Duma's life has changed again.
104
00:19:41,379 --> 00:19:44,655
His protector is now
in his care.
105
00:19:50,103 --> 00:19:54,000
A terrible time
for an old foe to appear.
106
00:20:21,586 --> 00:20:25,172
Duma outwitted Kali
when he was lost and alone.
107
00:20:33,551 --> 00:20:36,827
Now he has a wounded mother
to defend.
108
00:20:45,551 --> 00:20:48,793
He stands his ground,
ready to fight.
109
00:20:52,965 --> 00:20:56,448
But Kali has
a more troubling enemy.
110
00:21:02,310 --> 00:21:07,413
Askari, leader
of the black-maned males,
is following her.
111
00:21:16,137 --> 00:21:18,965
He could kill Duma
with just one swipe.
112
00:21:21,206 --> 00:21:24,655
But to Askari,
the cub is irrelevant.
113
00:21:29,206 --> 00:21:33,448
He took down Sefu,
a lion from Kali's pride.
114
00:21:36,655 --> 00:21:40,275
And he's been tracking Kali
ever since.
115
00:21:45,724 --> 00:21:49,275
She's luring him away
from her cubs and followers.
116
00:21:55,137 --> 00:22:00,137
He may be feared by most,
but Kali doesn't seem
to fear him now.
117
00:22:08,448 --> 00:22:09,862
What's changed?
118
00:22:17,310 --> 00:22:21,137
For now, he can stay,
but on her terms.
119
00:22:32,448 --> 00:22:34,827
Kali seems in control.
120
00:22:40,965 --> 00:22:44,310
But some things
are beyond her control.
121
00:22:50,275 --> 00:22:53,448
Askari may be feared,
122
00:22:53,482 --> 00:22:57,310
but the buffalo
see an opportunity.
123
00:23:14,517 --> 00:23:17,758
For Kali, the chance
to escape from Askari.
124
00:23:22,965 --> 00:23:25,517
But does she want to?
125
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:37,241
Shani is seeking
a safer crossing point
for her foal and family.
126
00:23:56,689 --> 00:23:59,862
Other families
are already crossing.
127
00:24:01,793 --> 00:24:04,724
They have no foal
to care for.
128
00:24:07,068 --> 00:24:09,137
Shani will wait...
129
00:24:11,172 --> 00:24:13,793
See how
the other families fare.
130
00:24:46,034 --> 00:24:48,103
All seems fine.
131
00:24:49,827 --> 00:24:53,448
And her foal will be safer
in the midst of a throng.
132
00:25:04,517 --> 00:25:07,965
But no crossing
is without risk.
133
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,206
The sound is an invitation
to a feast.
134
00:25:46,620 --> 00:25:49,310
Stragglers pay the price.
135
00:25:55,275 --> 00:25:57,965
Shani and her foal
have far to go.
136
00:26:03,724 --> 00:26:07,551
But where there is
one crocodile,
there are many.
137
00:26:37,689 --> 00:26:42,931
Shani keeps her foal close.
Crocodiles pick their moment.
138
00:26:54,758 --> 00:26:58,862
And if they miss,
move on.
139
00:27:08,103 --> 00:27:10,586
But it's not over
for the foal.
140
00:27:20,517 --> 00:27:23,931
He meets
an immovable object.
141
00:27:44,551 --> 00:27:46,103
There are plenty more.
142
00:27:49,517 --> 00:27:51,724
And they can appear
from nowhere.
143
00:28:11,827 --> 00:28:14,862
Attack is often
the best defense.
144
00:28:29,931 --> 00:28:32,827
He survived
his rite of passage.
145
00:28:44,655 --> 00:28:48,206
Shani's family faced
their moment of truth.
146
00:28:48,724 --> 00:28:50,620
All overcame.
147
00:28:59,379 --> 00:29:04,034
Lush new pastures
will be their reward.
148
00:29:14,689 --> 00:29:18,241
Today, the elephants
won't be facing the crossing.
149
00:29:22,034 --> 00:29:25,137
Instead, it's playtime.
150
00:29:46,103 --> 00:29:49,689
Kadogo is at the center
of it all.
151
00:30:22,551 --> 00:30:27,620
The games end when Nalla,
the great matriarch, decides.
152
00:30:40,034 --> 00:30:43,275
Kali has allowed Askari
to follow...
153
00:30:48,137 --> 00:30:51,965
always keeping him
one step behind.
154
00:30:53,896 --> 00:30:58,758
Foes making peace
or something more?
155
00:31:06,172 --> 00:31:08,931
Kali broke the rules.
156
00:31:08,965 --> 00:31:13,103
She had her cubs with a lion
from outside her pride.
157
00:31:19,689 --> 00:31:22,620
Askari was that lion.
158
00:31:31,413 --> 00:31:34,689
Her journey has taken her
full circle.
159
00:31:41,551 --> 00:31:45,482
She's back with
the father of her cubs.
160
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:31,827
Nalla will always
protect her family.
161
00:32:34,413 --> 00:32:38,275
Even Askari won't
take elephants on alone.
162
00:32:51,103 --> 00:32:53,206
And for the new couple...
163
00:32:55,448 --> 00:32:58,310
There are far better things
to do.
164
00:33:09,068 --> 00:33:13,275
All our lives are guided
by chance and by the seasons.
165
00:33:45,965 --> 00:33:49,827
It's time for the wildebeest
to leave, too.
166
00:33:55,137 --> 00:33:59,827
As numbers build,
the pressure to move on
becomes overwhelming.
167
00:34:31,965 --> 00:34:35,482
Gnu and his mother
are trapped in the throng.
168
00:34:44,827 --> 00:34:47,931
As the herds move,
so must they.
169
00:34:58,724 --> 00:35:03,000
Gnu's mother is first to see
what lies ahead.
170
00:35:04,758 --> 00:35:08,000
A near vertical drop.
171
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,172
One too steep for Gnu.
172
00:35:20,827 --> 00:35:24,000
But the river must be crossed.
173
00:35:26,034 --> 00:35:28,586
And pressure's growing
from behind.
174
00:35:45,931 --> 00:35:48,931
Gnu and his mother
will wait if they can.
175
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,724
But they can't wait
for long.
176
00:36:02,137 --> 00:36:04,275
Tempers are frayed.
177
00:36:30,275 --> 00:36:32,689
For Gnu,
it's now or never.
178
00:37:02,862 --> 00:37:05,034
He made it this far.
179
00:37:06,275 --> 00:37:08,413
But it's just the beginning.
180
00:37:15,896 --> 00:37:19,344
The deadly river
is waiting.
181
00:37:35,103 --> 00:37:41,275
As we grow, we prepare
for our defining moment,
whenever it might be.
182
00:37:53,931 --> 00:37:57,551
Aiyisha is wounded
and unable to hunt.
183
00:37:59,241 --> 00:38:03,241
To save his mother,
Duma must grow up fast.
184
00:38:12,137 --> 00:38:15,482
Even walking has become
a burden.
185
00:38:35,413 --> 00:38:38,551
Chasing prey
will be impossible.
186
00:38:54,482 --> 00:38:56,758
Aiyisha needs to rest.
187
00:38:59,896 --> 00:39:02,000
Her leg is troubling her.
188
00:39:07,068 --> 00:39:09,793
The cubs will comfort her.
189
00:39:23,206 --> 00:39:26,689
And let the prey come to them.
190
00:39:36,862 --> 00:39:39,517
Will Duma seize the moment?
191
00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:48,034
He leads the charge.
192
00:40:13,620 --> 00:40:16,448
Aiyisha will go hungry
once more.
193
00:40:17,482 --> 00:40:21,172
Duma had the power,
but not the focus.
194
00:40:25,413 --> 00:40:29,172
If the cubs can't hunt,
and neither can their mother,
195
00:40:29,206 --> 00:40:32,517
none of them will survive.
196
00:40:41,758 --> 00:40:45,724
For the wildebeest,
their moment of reckoning
has arrived.
197
00:40:49,931 --> 00:40:54,206
Nothing is more dangerous
or claims more lives.
198
00:41:07,862 --> 00:41:10,551
Gnu is still waiting
with his mother...
199
00:41:13,896 --> 00:41:16,896
As the frontrunners
take the plunge.
200
00:41:31,655 --> 00:41:35,551
It's good to go early,
before the pressure builds.
201
00:41:46,896 --> 00:41:50,310
For Gnu,
it's a leap into the unknown.
202
00:41:52,862 --> 00:41:54,896
Anything can happen.
203
00:42:44,551 --> 00:42:47,103
Crocodiles seek out
the young.
204
00:43:11,551 --> 00:43:14,482
But the herd acts
as a shield...
205
00:43:16,068 --> 00:43:18,551
And sometimes,
a deadly decoy.
206
00:43:36,965 --> 00:43:40,000
As numbers build,
every crocodile can feast.
207
00:43:55,310 --> 00:43:58,551
Gnu, as always,
stays close to his mother.
208
00:44:04,931 --> 00:44:07,827
This time,
she's the target.
209
00:44:12,862 --> 00:44:16,034
One too strong
to take down.
210
00:44:29,793 --> 00:44:33,448
The most dangerous time
is when the end is in sight.
211
00:44:35,137 --> 00:44:37,827
And Gnu is on his own.
212
00:44:55,034 --> 00:45:00,551
It's not over,
saved on a whim...
213
00:45:09,172 --> 00:45:12,620
And Gnu's determination
to survive.
214
00:45:20,206 --> 00:45:22,758
But he needs his mother.
215
00:45:25,896 --> 00:45:28,620
She's still
out there somewhere.
216
00:45:43,620 --> 00:45:49,137
In the panic,
escape from one danger
leads to another.
217
00:46:07,206 --> 00:46:10,172
But even crocodiles
are struggling.
218
00:46:13,206 --> 00:46:16,724
Gnu can wait,
but more are coming.
219
00:46:22,862 --> 00:46:26,137
The herds seem never-ending.
220
00:46:42,379 --> 00:46:45,344
How can he find his mother
in this?
221
00:47:13,275 --> 00:47:16,000
Where does he even
start to look?
222
00:47:32,965 --> 00:47:36,000
He can't fight this tide.
223
00:47:39,275 --> 00:47:41,241
No one can.
224
00:47:46,137 --> 00:47:50,172
Wherever he goes,
another crush point.
225
00:47:57,137 --> 00:48:01,206
The smallest
are in the greatest danger.
226
00:48:09,931 --> 00:48:15,000
While they struggle,
still more are joining
from behind.
227
00:48:26,103 --> 00:48:29,206
Gnu must find a way out...
228
00:48:31,172 --> 00:48:33,620
A way to save his life.
229
00:48:41,241 --> 00:48:45,275
Climb on their backs
right to freedom.
230
00:48:59,275 --> 00:49:03,758
Freed from the masses,
he finds a way through.
231
00:49:15,275 --> 00:49:20,931
But still,
no sign of his mother.
232
00:49:25,310 --> 00:49:29,241
He has a heartbeat
to decide.
233
00:49:29,275 --> 00:49:33,758
Leave her
or go back and find her.
234
00:49:46,862 --> 00:49:51,586
For the cheetahs, life is also
becoming desperate.
235
00:49:54,482 --> 00:49:57,758
Aiyisha still
isn't hunting-ready.
236
00:50:01,137 --> 00:50:05,241
To survive,
her cubs must provide.
237
00:50:15,965 --> 00:50:19,000
Duma must meet his moment.
238
00:50:30,413 --> 00:50:33,103
He's first to see the prey.
239
00:50:37,827 --> 00:50:41,965
A topi calf is well-chosen.
240
00:51:09,620 --> 00:51:14,862
He did it all on his own.
241
00:51:27,034 --> 00:51:30,551
If he can hunt,
they're not only safe...
242
00:51:33,241 --> 00:51:35,379
So is their mother.
243
00:51:53,172 --> 00:51:57,068
It's a meal
that saved her life.
244
00:51:57,103 --> 00:52:01,758
It may not be much,
but more will follow.
245
00:52:01,793 --> 00:52:06,586
And the mother
of this budding hunter
will soon recover.
246
00:52:12,068 --> 00:52:16,793
At the river crossing,
the herds have long moved on.
247
00:52:16,827 --> 00:52:21,103
One lone figure
is still searching.
248
00:52:24,965 --> 00:52:29,862
Only those who didn't
escape the crush remain.
249
00:52:40,965 --> 00:52:44,793
Does his mother lie
among them?
250
00:53:00,275 --> 00:53:03,620
There's no sign of life
at all.
251
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,413
But hope lives.
252
00:53:48,172 --> 00:53:50,379
His mother was searching, too.
253
00:54:17,931 --> 00:54:22,172
Together, they will continue
their journey,
254
00:54:22,206 --> 00:54:26,275
as the herds have done
since our land was born.
255
00:54:31,586 --> 00:54:33,793
As the multitudes leave,
256
00:54:33,827 --> 00:54:38,896
our land is given back
to those that remain.
257
00:54:48,758 --> 00:54:53,793
Bakari has taken his troop
to the one place
he considers home.
258
00:54:58,068 --> 00:55:00,448
Baboon Rock.
259
00:55:02,034 --> 00:55:06,482
A safe haven from the dramas
of the plains below.
260
00:55:08,103 --> 00:55:10,862
He has reason
to be content.
261
00:55:12,137 --> 00:55:14,827
His youngsters are safe
and secure.
262
00:55:19,793 --> 00:55:23,000
And harmony
has been restored.
263
00:55:29,310 --> 00:55:35,068
For now, they'll enjoy
the calm before the storm
that will surely come.
264
00:55:42,068 --> 00:55:44,758
Soon, the seasons
will change again
265
00:55:44,793 --> 00:55:47,931
and new challenges
will arrive.
266
00:55:50,241 --> 00:55:53,344
Our world is ever-changing.
267
00:56:02,586 --> 00:56:06,862
New life will be born
as others pass on.
268
00:56:14,241 --> 00:56:18,172
Already there are surprises
in store.
269
00:56:22,275 --> 00:56:27,241
Kali and her followers
have finally found
their own safe home.
270
00:56:37,103 --> 00:56:41,310
Askari has been allowed
to stay as their protector.
271
00:56:48,344 --> 00:56:50,931
And there's more.
272
00:57:02,241 --> 00:57:07,620
Kali has had new cubs
with a lion
the pride once feared.
273
00:57:20,206 --> 00:57:25,448
In our land,
where all life connects,
there's no good or bad.
274
00:57:25,482 --> 00:57:29,379
Just families
striving to succeed.
275
00:57:30,275 --> 00:57:33,068
As a world far away
brings change,
276
00:57:33,103 --> 00:57:37,965
we will need
all our resilience to survive.
