Cecil (2026)

Directed by Arthur Cary

“The Lion and the Dentist”

Documentary, Crime · 1h 41m

In 2015 a lion in Zimbabwe named Cecil was killed by Walter Palmer, an American dentist, provoking a global outcry. The story of Cecil’s death turns the gaze back on to us and our behaviour. The simplicity of the outrage is a stark contrast to the complexity of the reality.
