The film *Born Free* recounts the experiences of George and Joy Adamson as they raised a lioness while residing at a Kenyan game reserve. James Hill directed, Lester Cole wrote the screenplay, and Virginia McKenna and Bill Travers portray the Adamsons. John Barry composed the music, and Kenneth Talbot handled the cinematography. This is an example of how a straightforward approach to a family film can yield impressive results. The movie was very popular when it came out, as was Joy Adamson’s book that inspired it; the gorgeous scenery and stirring musical score work together wonderfully with the narrative. Some details have been altered, regarding both people and animals, but this isn't intended to be a depressing or gritty story. Instead, audiences receive an uplifting experience—a moment for animal enthusiasts to appreciate and shed a happy tear. It earns a rating of 8/10.
