Groot nommers van seekoeie is besig om dood te gaan en hulle karkasse word al langs die rivier gevind tot die genot van die krokodille. Wat is die oorsaak van hierdie ongewone sterftes? Ons volg die lewens van twee seekoei oujongkêrels en ‘n jong ma en haar kalf in hulle reis oppad na hierdie doodsone. Die erge droeë seisoen van die Luangwa Vallei is altyd hard vir die diere wie dit moet oorleef, maar word die meeste gevoel deur die seekoeie, wat moet onderhandel vir spasie in die oorblywende stukkie van rivier wanneer hulle huise in die mere opdroog. Gaan hulle uitsterf in die modder? Gaan die siekte hulle ook plat slaan sodat hulle ook net ‘n statistiek word? Gaan hulle teruggaan na die rivier vir ‘n finale konfrontasie met die rivier meester? Kan hulle hierdie die “Seekoei Hel” oorleef?

Fascinating mating and courting rituals and the ongoing struggle for survival on the African Savannahs.
This is the story of three African animals that nature has repainted with extraordinary new colours. They are the Outsiders: a White Lion, a Yellow Crocodile and a White Baboon. To be born an 'outsider' is a rare and dramatic event. Animals with startlingly different colours face completely new challenges. They are not well-camouflaged for the habitat they were born into, so they must work harder to survive. This film tells their story in the innovative form of an African fable. Along the way, we'll meet a host of other fascinating characters like a pink hippo, a black leopard and even a striped cheetah!

For millions of years, herbivores and predators have competed in an arms race, and over time, they developed specialised survival techniques and super-human abilities.

The film includes a plea for the world's most notorious predator, man, to work in closer partnership with nature for our mutual benefit and survival.
