Can anyone help me?

Question.

about a year ago i saw a film on Television. ( i think it was on Discovery channel) ( not sure).

It  was starring a beautifull blond lady with long hair and an old Masai warrior and 2 lions that were travelling and went to see the ocean. They travelled on a sand desert also.

I am still looking for it , and if its out on DVD i will sure buy it.

Can anyone help me with information ? 

Take care.

Yes amazing isnt it! have you seen that the cheetah she caller her "lucky" was rescued from a trap and has only 3 legs left , and have you seen that Marlice said its still a cheetah and because she only has 3 legs its doesnt mean that she cant run and feel the wind and takes her for a drive in a car! Amazing!

Volkswagen was so exited that they donated Marlice a Car and they did a commercial starring Marlice and Lucky the CheetahLaughing

Maybe the complete Marlice story also is worth it to place it in the all things wildlife section?

Take Care

Hello!
(Sorry my english, I am from Russia=) )

I find your message that you are lookig for film "Run with lions".
I also saw this film and I was fascinated with Marlice and her state of
harmony with the wild world around her. I´ve never seen such a beautiful scene as her playing with the lions at the sunset.
This film made a deep impression on me, and I wanted to find more
informations about Marlice and her father`s sanctuary. This is the
information I can find out. Hope, it will be useful to you.

This is site of her sanctuary

I don't know which film you are referring to but I am guessing that the long-blond-haired woman that you saw in the film was Saba Douglas-Hamilton. She has been in many wildlife films over the years and, although I cannot remember the exact name of any particular film I do remember that she made one one which involved the release of a captive bred lion - is that the film which you refer to?

Tabs!!! Yes that is probably her!

I started a search already:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saba_Douglas-Hamilton

Thanks a LOT Tabs! really appreciated!

Now my quest is to find the film.

She is travelling with a masai old warrior and as far as i remember 2 lions true several landscape's including a sand dune desert, The movie ends when they arrive at the Ocean.

I just saw briefly fragments  from a lot of her movies on youtube already but not the one i am searching for.

I just sended an email to her management . I Hope they can help me.
