Jacob's story is one of extraordinary resilience.

26 June 2026

After surviving poaching snares, a buffalo attack, poisoning, and the loss of a leg, Jacob has become a symbol of hope for Africa's lions. Now, his remarkable journey is being brought to the screen in Nine Lives, a powerful documentary that highlights his incredible survival and the conservation efforts helping to protect lions in Uganda's Queen Elizabeth landscape.

The Nine Lives Kickstarter campaign is aiming to raise $18,000 to help complete the film and share Jacob’s inspiring story to audiences around the world. 
Every contribution helps share Jacob's legacy and the importance of protecting Africa's wild places.
