The Born Free charity, founded by Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers who played Joy and George Adamson in this movie, still exists, with the goal of protecting wildlife and their habitat. The books that followed Born Free show that Elsa's cubs did become domesticated, and had to be re-located after Elsa died, but they did eventually disappear, so they may have finally adjusted to living wild. But like most happy endings, it's not the real end of the story. They decide not to pet the cubs so they will not become tame like Elsa. In the end, Elsa has been successfully returned to the wild and she brings her three cubs to show the Adamsons. Much of the movie concerns Joy and George's tireless efforts to teach Elsa to survive on her own in the wild - hunting for food and learning to get along with other lions - so she could be returned to the wild permanently. They kept the third cub, named Elsa, because Joy was too attached to her to let her go. It's about the true story of Joy and George Adamson, a British couple living in Kenya who raised three orphaned lion cubs before being forced to send two of them to a zoo. This movie, which won Oscars for best music and best song, is based on the bestselling book with the same title that helped to change perceptions about dangerous wildlife. Some of these pictures and descriptions may give away plot details that you might not want to know before watching the film.
