We reached out to our festival filmmakers to ask them questions about the experience of making their films.
Answers provided by Hannah Hoare, Showrunner
What inspired the story? Following the pride and filming the cubs, it quickly became apparent that one cub was different. He was always on his own, off to one side, not joining in with play-fights. We were really drawn to him from the word go, the little underdog – the Misfit. We focused on him and just watched all the drama unfold. We could never have predicted his incredible story. Share about your surprising or meaningful experiences during filming? The night we found the tiny Misfit lost and alone, away from his pride, was heart-breaking. He came so close to being attacked by a leopard it was almost unbearable to film. The crew’s hearts were in their mouths. Even more remarkable was seeing the reaction of his teenager brothers when he finally found them. At first we were hugely relieved that’d he’d found the safety of the pride, but quickly realized how wrong we were. It was an extraordinary insight into lion behavior, and an emotional rollercoaster.
What impact do you hope the film will have? We’ve been able to show that lions are far more nuanced than just being formidable predators and I hope perhaps that might help some people see them in a different light. Their family relationships are complex and intriguing; what befalls one has an impact on another. Lions need wildernesses in which to live out their lives and it’s up to us, to humanity, to ensure we protect those places. The more people who engage emotionally with lions, the more they are likely to commit, I hope, to protecting their world. What challenges did you face while making the film? Filming at night is very tricky. The crew were at a huge disadvantage compared to lions – their night vision is seven times better than ours. Our thermal camera made it possible for us to film – but we had no way of seeing what was going on either side of the camera, or behind us. We had some nerve-wrackingly close encounters with some very big cats! What drove you as a filmmaker to focus on big cat species? There’s a fascination with the wild version of the moggy that lives in our houses. But lions are unique, the only social cat. Multiple animals maintaining relationships means there are always compelling stories to be told. Following a pride over time is like getting hooked a soap opera – you get to know characters and you want to tune in and find out what happens next. For a film-maker, there’s a rich vein of stories.

You guys have done a marvelous job with the film.. it is very sad and terrifying to see him all alone, but at the end is inspiring and sweet. He has lots of courage and determination to keep going. It's wonderful. God Bless this Lion cub into an amazing big lion one day. 🙂👍

What’s even better, if you saw the documentary of the Misfit and his struggles as a cub, you still have more to watch. Look up “Africa’s Hunters”. It ran for 3 seasons with 6 episodes per season. The series includes 3 separate episodes which feature the Misfit.

He passed away from being poisoned in 2015. His name was “Alan”, and someone left out poisoned meat for him. He consumed it and got really sick, finally being euthanized a day later. Sad ending for such an inspirational animal!

Mike, you've got the wrong documentary and unfortunately your erroneous information will greatly upset fellow Misfit fans. Alan was a tragic subadult lion cub from the Marsh pride out of David Attenborough's "Dynasties: LION." The Misfit is from the Nsefu Pride from the Smithsonian Channel's (Paramount Plus) doc called "Africa's Predators." Get your docs right and stop being the false voice of doom and gloom.

If you are interested in watching all of the episodes that document the Misfit, you should search on Amazon or YouTube for the series “Africa’s Hunters”. The series ran for 3 seasons with 6 episodes per season. I believe each season has 1 episode dedicated to the Misfit. 3 episodes in total at 50 mins each. If you have seen the 1 documentary about him, surely you will want to see the 2 additional documentaries about him. Honestly, I can’t recommend seeking out the Africa’s Hunters series enough. I’ve watched every episode, multiple times. You will learn all about the Nsefu Pride and all of the lions that grow up around the Misfit and his family. I don’t want to give anything away but you will certainly learn about what happens to the Misfit as he ages. I think you need to have Paramount + or one of the other streaming services, in order to watch them but if you search on YouTube with the name of the series, you will find several episodes there. Also, if you don’t have Paramount + you can sign up for a 7 day free trial and just binge watch the series in that week, cancel the subscription and it won’t cost you a dime. Good luck, I hope many other people get to enjoy all 3 seasons.

Hi Eddie! We followed up on this for you, and we finally have an answer, provided by a crew member from the film: "Yes, he lives! In fact a year later the same team went back, and found only three cubs left, yearlings by that stage, and he was one of them. He is recognizable by a weirdness in the iris of one eye. He's strong, and that year befriended a cub who had gone through a similar nightmare to him, and looked after this little lost cub whose mother was killed."

Like you I fell in love with the Misfit and wondered what happened to him after he and his brothers left the pride. Get a Kleenex because you will cry. The local ranchers had put out poisoned meat because lions had killed some of their cattle. His brothers died but the park rangers were able to get to the misfit before it was too late. They put him in an area where they could keep an eye on him until he had fully recovered but during the night he was trampled by buffalo during a stampede. They had to euthanize him. He overcame so much as a cub that I think he would have been an amazing father and pride leader!! It’s absolutely horrible that he had to die the way he did. He will never be forgotten though and was loved by many 💜

Unfortunately, it’s true. It was in a BBC update on him. I honestly couldn’t imagine how he would have been in a buffalo stampede if he was in an area where the rangers could keep him under observation. If you google what happened to the misfit you will need to do the “more results” at the end of the search page a couple of times. Look for the BBC article

I hope someone can come across an official update on him. I looked at all the dates on everything and I think y’all are correct, he was not the lion cub in the article. It was Alan who was trampled after he and his two brothers were poisoned. Does anyone know if they left the misfits name the same? One of the shows said that the cats get named after they reach the age of one. I have tried so many times to find something on the misfit and I just keep getting taken to the article about the poisoning and then of course the snippets of videos from the show, the latest being when he came of age. Thank y’all for pointing out that it was not the misfit who was trampled!!

Greetings all, from Canada, I was deeply pierced observing how excrutiating the little Misfit was treated. But his courage and determination in following the pride really touched me, he never lost heart even when he was rejected. His courage in following the seemed to be paying off at the end, but I'm bit curious on whether he is still alive or not.

If anyone is still reading this thread, the misfit is not Alan. Alan was part of the Marsh pride in the Masai Mara in Kenya; the misfit is part of the Nsefu pride in the Luangwa valley in Zambia. They are almost a thousand miles apart

It is hard to put into words the huge impact the Misfit and his brothers had on me ever since I came across their story. When I found out in the 3 seaon that the the Misfit is healthy and strong, although not a fully grown lion yet, I was the happiest person. Like you, PRASKOVYA, I am looking forward to hearing about a fourth season with the Misfit and his brothers in it.

Alan is from a different pride and different TV show entirely -- Dynasties: LION, narrated by Sir David Attenborough. And Alan wasn't stampeded. He was poisoned and then euthanized. I was devastated upon reading someone's erroneous information about The Misfit and hope that posters are more cautious in the future not to provide tragic and WRONG updates again. The Misfit is a hero to me ... my dream is to visit him someday in Africa. 8/22/2020 10:36:13 am
I saw the misfit episode just yesterday, I couldn't sleep throughout the night. The crew has done an amazing job. They shoot it passionately. I'm enthusiastic to know more about misfit. How's he now in 2020, any updates? I would love to know bout him. Lots of love.

Thank you, Dina, for providing that part of the article. I watched the episode of "Dynasties" about the making of the doc again tonight, and strangely, there was no mention of the buffalo attack. And in fact, Sir David Attenborough said that the vet arrived shortly after the pride left Alan and they showed him trying to save him from the poisoning. But he said it was too late. I wonder if Alan was stampeded the night before Charm came back for him ... I don't know why the buffalo attack was not mentioned on the episode itself. In any case, I felt so terrible for poor Alan when I first saw Dynasties. I read an article that he was the camerawoman's favorite and that he loved feasting on his meals. What a total tragedy.

All 3 seasons of “Africa’s Hunters” is available on Paramount +. The series consists of 3 seasons with 6 episodes per season. If you search for “Africa’s Hunters” on Amazon videos, you will find the series and it will show you that it’s available for purchase or viewing via the Paramount + app. I hope this comment can help anyone that hasn’t seen all 3 seasons of this amazing documentary that follows the Nsefu Pride, as well as some eps dedicated to a leopard and a couple other episodes that document a hyena family. All 3 seasons are filmed beautifully and are all narrated by the same lady (I apologize for not knowing her name) that has the perfect voice for narrating this amazing series. Long live the Misfit and you will learn about a similar Lion Cub named “The Dreamer” that the Misfit takes under his wing, after “The Dreamer” is discovered to be in a similar situation as the Misfit had gone through, as a young, outcasted cub. I can’t urge people enough to seek out all 3 seasons and watch every episode. Btw, season 3 has an episode called “The Misfit Coming of Age” where you Erik learn that not only did he survive, he thrived. You certainly will not be disappointed with the series. It’s truly one of my favorite sets of documentaries.

It's a huge disappointment that filmmakers chose not to ID The Misfit and track him later into his adult life. It's well established in lion filmmaking communities that lions can be identified by the patterns of whisker holes around their noses. Jonathan and Angela Scott always ID the lions they film and photograph and to keep the spotlight on them, they never stop filming the lions of the Marsh pride and other neighboring prides and continue to tell their stories generationally. Since there is still old closeup footage of The Misfit from "Africa's Hunters," it is clearly not too late to identify him if a naturalist/wildlife cinematographer/photographer decides to go out and film members of the Nsefu pride and other nearby prides as well, as they did in the latest show, "Big Cat Country," in which a brave and cheeky cub called Spotty reminds so many of us of The Misfit and his now eternalized youthful heroism.

There are more than 1 Notch. There was the Notch Coalition in the Mapago pride. There is an impressive list of offspring Kings. Notch from the Nsefu pride in coalition with Chief, is a different t Notch.

More than one lion was called Notch. I think you got them mixed up.

I am so disappointed that after giving us this amazing story and documentary (one of the most touching I have ever seen), the filmakers didn't follow up to see if he made it to be an adult Lion :/

Have you watched all 3 seasons of “Africa’s Hunters”? That is the name of the series where the original documentary of “The Misfit” was filmed. The original episode (which features the Misfit) was part of season 1 and they do have a couple follow up episodes of him. One more episode in season 2, which features The Misfit and another lion cub, named “The Dreamer”. Season 3 has an episode called “The Misfit Coming of Age”. All 3 seasons are amazing and each season consists of 6 episodes. If you search “Africa’s Hunters” on Amazon, it gives you the option to view all 3 seasons via Paramount +. If you haven’t watched all 3 seasons, I can’t urge you enough to seek them out via Amazon and you can get some updates on the Misfit. Unfortunately, they stopped producing “Africa’s Hunters” after the third season. But all 3 seasons have episodes that include the Nsefu pride, a few episodes that follow a leopard and a couple other episodes that document a hyena clan. I hope my comment can help with you being able to view all of the available content, which exists, covering The Misfit.

Even more remarkable was seeing the reaction of his teenager brothers when he finally found them. At first we were hugely relieved that’d he’d found the safety of the pride, I truly appreciate your great post!

I wish we could also know more about Misfit. I hardly believe the crew wouldn't follow up on his story, even when the filmming stopped. Unfortunaly, when crossing to different territories the names may be changed, ez.: the punks, so we may never know what happened.
