Mountain Lion Conservation
“Chasing Lions” is a passion project created by three close friends who believe, as Aldo Leopold did, that the land is one organism—that no creature exists in isolation. In the rugged heart of the American Southwest, where mountain lions move like ghosts through the wilderness, a team of devoted trackers works to understand and protect them. This film is a story of connection—between predator and prey, land and life, science and spirit. It is a testament to those who dedicate themselves to the wild, not to conquer it, but to know it.
This film premiered at the 2025 Earth X Congress of Conferences, and is currently on the 2025 film festival circuit. To learn more, visit the official film landing page here: https://brakerbros.com/chasinglions
