The Last LionsThen the second most popular documentary in 2011 is The Last Lions. Its based on

facts from the past and giving the audience unknown facts about lions etc. Fiftyyears ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around

20,000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, which are far more

numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through

international accords.

moving and surprising stories of three Violence Interrupters who try to protect

Hell and Back AgainIs lastly the fifth documentary in the chart and with the lowest rating according to the

public. Its a very moving, fiction documentary and is all about, What does it mean

to lead men in war? What does it mean to come home? Hell and Back Again is a

cinematically revolutionary film that asks and answers these questions with a

power and intimacy no previous film about the conflict in Afghanistan has been

able to achieve.
