The print is a present for my awesome Mom.
We both “fell in love” with Christian’s story.
Like many, we saw the YouTube video and we just kept wondering what happened to Christian beyond that video.
So we searched a little further…how John and Ace got in touch with George Adamson…how they went to Africa one last time to see Christian…
We were amazed by John and Ace’s dedication to bring him back into the wild, where he belonged.
My Mom and Dad have just been to Africa (Kenya) and my Mom thought of Christian all along.
We will never know what happened to Christian in the end, but we know that thanks to John, Ace and George Adamson, he was where he was meant to be!
