Synopsis:

Long before Joy Adamson wrote the book about Elsa the lioness, before the first African National park was ever founded an incredible story had taken place …

The documentary THE ARK OF LIGHTS AND SHADOWS wants to bring back not only the remarkable life story and work of both adventurers, but also their modern ideas, which are near to the contemporary concepts of humanism and environmental protection.

Their story is a valuable testimony of the pitfalls and challenges of every period we live in. Jonhsons experienced many rises and falls, dispelled many myths, fought prejudice, but there were times when they clashed with more powerful opponents, such as Hollywood and finally life itself.
