Mia and the White Lion 2019

The trajectory of 10-year-old Mia Owen’s life takes an unexpected turn when her family decides to uproot themselves from London and take on the challenging task of managing a lion farm in Africa. As she settles into her new surroundings, Mia forms a deep connection with Charlie, a majestic white lion that brings joy back into her world.

However, as Charlie grows old enough to venture beyond their domestic enclosure, Mia’s father, John (character), is faced with the difficult decision of separating the two. When tragedy strikes and Charlie accidentally injures Mia’s brother, Mick, her parents impose a strict ban on any interaction between Mia and the majestic creature. But Mia’s determination and compassion for Charlie prove too great to be deterred, leading her to defy her father’s wishes and continue to nurture their bond in secret.

The consequences of Mia’s defiance are swift and severe, as her father announces his intention to sell Charlie to a trophy hunting operation, sparking Mia’s indignation and resolve. She sets out on an arduous journey across South Africa, determined to release Charlie into the Timbavati Game Reserve, a sanctuary for iconic white lions, where he will be safe from the cruel fate that awaits him.

As Mia navigates this treacherous landscape, she is pursued by Dirk, a ruthless trophy hunter who has set his sights on claiming Charlie as his next prize. Meanwhile, Mia’s family and the authorities are hot on her heels, intent on capturing her and putting an end to her dangerous endeavors.

The stakes are raised when Mia and Charlie finally reach the Timbavati Game Reserve, only to be ambushed by Dirk and his accomplices. In a heart-pumping display of bravery, Charlie manages to fend off Dirk and escape with Mia. The authorities give chase, but once Charlie has safely entered the reserve, they are powerless to intervene.

Months later, Mia returns to the Timbavati Game Reserve, only to discover that Charlie has found love and started a family with a lioness. As she watches her beloved companion thrive in his new surroundings, Mia is filled with a sense of pride and fulfillment, knowing that she played a crucial role in ensuring Charlie’s freedom and happiness.
