This film is part of a three-episode series dedicated to a spectacular place, far less famous than other African national parks. We invite you to discover a story of survival, in which three iconic species,  lions, hippos, and crocodiles must face an extraordinary climatic cycle that turns the usual dry season into the harshest drought of the last century.
Admission is free with a valid reservation*.

Q&A with Andrei Mihalca
A professor at the University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Cluj-Napoca, Andrei D. Mihalca combines scientific research, nature conservation, and the exploration of wildlife through international projects carried out in Africa and the Galápagos Islands. Passionate about wildlife photography, he will join this Q&A session to share some of his adventures in lesser-known corners of Africa and to help us better understand the challenges faced by the continent’s wildlife.
50 minutes, English language without subtitles

When photographer Florian Ledoux captures a striking scene in the Arctic, it sets off a fascinating journey into the discovery of a place deeply affected by climate change. Told from a unique perspective and with an unconventional editing style for a documentary film, this production offers a compelling opportunity to fall in love with perhaps the most unusual character.
Admission is free with a valid reservation*.
