Life is hard for inhabitants of luangwa valley during the dry season with intense competition for food and water supplies dangerously low as well as outwitting their predators.

In a forgotten African valley, remote and timeless, nature deviates from its usual course. Here, summer rains flood the plains, turning them into fertile grounds, only to scorch them to dust in the relentless dry season. The Luangwa River, a slender thread of life, sustains the wildlife that depends on its banks. This is the battleground of the cunning Yellow Baboon. "The Luangwa Troop" is a captivating documentary that chronicles the daily struggles of a large family of yellow baboons living near a diminishing watering hole. The extremes of the seasons push African wildlife to its limits, and the Luangwa River, reduced to a mere trickle, becomes a lifeline in a harsh, unforgiving landscape. Amidst drought-ravaged lands, the baboons showcase their resourcefulness, adept at finding food and navigating their perilous environment. Their lives intertwine with other wildlife, including herds of elephants and impala, as well as solitary leopards stalking the grasslands and watering holes. While lions pose a significant threat, the baboons' true nemesis is the sleek, silent leopard, their most feared predator. "The Luangwa Troop" offers a unique and intimate glimpse into the lives of these crafty primates, set against the stark backdrop of one of Africa's most extreme and brutal environments.—Lion Mountain Media
