Looking for National Geagraphic film about lions and elephants

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, i wasn't sure where to post.

Hi - i'm trying to track down a National Geographic film/tv documentary called "Preying on Giants" - looked really interesting detailing how a pride of lions had started to prey on elephants. It was shown in the uk about a year ago. I've searched everywhere i can think of but can't find anywhere i can download it or buy a dvd.

Anybody have any ideas ?

I've tried contacting Nat Geo but got a generalised reply saying how they could respond personally to every enquiry.

Thanks for any help

Chris

There is a film called Ultimate Enemies by the Joubert's.

Chris,
The Nov 2000 issue of National Geographic had the Preying on Giants article, and I have subsequently seen the (fantastic) film but my efforts to locate a dvd have failed too. Did you see the Jouberts field notes for this film:

Yes, the one Napamatt mentioned is probably the one you are referring to- if you are talking about a film by the Jouberts.

There was another episode involving the Selinda Pride and their lion hunting skills on a show by the Kratt Brothers: "Be the Creature". Incidently, they also hv an episode on the Selinda Wild dog pack for the same series.
