The legacy of Born Free 50 years on

In 1966, a film about a couple who raised an orphaned lion cub was released.

Based on a book of the same name, Born Free told the story of Joy and George Adamson's experiences of raising Elsa and how they trained her to survive in the wild.

Some say it changed conservation work in Africa forever, but nearly 50 years on, has Elsa's legacy continued?
