Survivor

SURVIVOR chronicles the epic Serengeti wildebeest migration, focusing on a newborn calf and a cheetah mother raising six cubs. The calf must stand and run within an hour to escape predators like hyenas and lions. Briefly adopted by a lioness, it survives a perilous night alone before reuniting with its mother. Meanwhile, the cheetah balances hunting and protecting her growing cubs. Other species—leopards, hyenas, and horn moths—play vital ecological roles. As the dry season intensifies, challenges peak with a dangerous river crossing. Rituals by the Maasai herald rain and renewal. In the end, survival belongs to those who endure.
