When operators of animal circuses in Bolivia defy a nationwide ban, a team of investigators tracks them down and saves every animal. The rescue team endure confrontations, heartache, and incredible risk to see 25 lions airlifted to freedom in Colorado. An uplifting story of bravery, compassion, camaraderie, and determination: How a poor but proud country said 'no' to cruelty, and how attitudes to animals were changed across an entire continent.
