Synopsis

Lush, gorgeously textured animation illustrates this touching story of a young lion cub who has strayed from his pride. He follows their footprints across the veldt, but as night falls and there is no sign of his mother and family, it seems he might never find his way back to them. ‘Kiburi’ illuminates the sometimes surprising value that a simple act of kindness can hold.
