I rarely write reviews. I am usually content with rating movies. But this documentary is extraordinary. I love lions for their majestic appearance, their power, their strength and leadership. But this documentary showed the raw & brutal nature of life for lions. To survive they have to dominate period. And boy did the Mapogos dominate other male lions by unleashing unprecedented terror.Mr.T is the pablo escobar of Sabi sands and this documentary is the Narcos I of Lion world.

I always find Discovery Channel documentaries as fascinating and new things to learn, enhance knowledge and feel the same astonishing moments while making these documentaries. By watching Brothers in Blood: The Lions of Sabi Sand, it is entirely different from any documentary that we mostly see how a lion's pride hunt as a team and whole pride stay together.Again, I really appreciate all the team members' work for making Brothers in Blood: The Lions of Sabi Sand, as one of the greatest documentary ever made on the life of lions.

One of the most fascinating documentary i've ever seen. Great scenery, great story, smart commentaries and lots of love of those great animals. This film is a must see for or lion lovers and fans of wild nature. Great work and masterpiece of long work (this film took 16 years to be made).So hope that creators of the film will make something more about wildlife in Africa. All in all is 10 out of 10. Recommended for everyone except children. This film shows lots of cruel things. But the reality is so. Now we now what male lions are really are and why they are called kings.

This would have to be the most powerful animal documentary I have seen. Sixteen years of work (what patience and understanding) show that coveting of power is not just a human trait nor is retribution.Normally I find personal input from observers and stake holder in a documentary is more of a filler and clinical but in this movie they help build not only a foundation of timing and behaviour but also a deeper , more personal understanding of the desire for a single lion to be king of all and the retribution of others as the power wanes.This is not a movie for the faint hearted, it is not only extremely graphic but true to life and death. One of those movies you need to see a second time.
