Heart of a Lion is a feature length documentary that follows biologist Mark Elbroch on a sweeping journey from the rugged wilderness of Jackson, Wyoming, to the misty forests of Washington’s Olympic Peninsula.
At the center of the story are two mountain lion mothers, F61 and Yoko, whose lives Elbroch has tracked for years. As his connection with these elusive cats deepens, the film reveals an intimate and rarely seen portrait of one of North America’s most misunderstood predators. Heart of a Lion explores not only the ecological role of mountain lions but also the emotional intelligence and resilience that define their lives in the wild.

A portion of funds raised from this screening will go directly to the Heart of a Lion Impact Campaign. You can help! By supporting this film, you’re helping to amplify conservation efforts and to protect the wild spaces we all share.
This campaign works to:
Foster Coexistence
Build understanding around mountain lions—their intelligence, their vital role in the ecosystem, and how people can live safely and respectfully alongside them.
Promote Connectivity
Support the protection and restoration of wildlife corridors, essential pathways that allow mountain lions and many other species to survive in an increasingly fragmented landscape.
Inspire Action
Connect audiences with conservation partners and initiatives working toward a future where people and predators can coexist.
