For ages the story of the ancient rivalry between two of Africa s most bitter eternal enemies has been shrouded in the secrecy of darkness. Each night is like a battlefield as this war of wits plays itself out between the hyenas and the lions of saut in Botswana. Dereck and Beverly Joubert have studied and filmed the lions in Savute since 1981. Because of the unique privilege of working at night they have at lastbeen able to bring to the screen the truth about how lions and hyenas behave in the darkness. This is a story of one clan of hyenas and one pride of lions as they interact with their neighbours and with each other, surviving each night only by displaying strength and aggression, in what can be best described as a blood feud between two eternal enemies.
