It is about learning.
It is also about a lion's testicles.
I liked it because I learned about playing with a lion's testicles.
I like to learn new things.

(34,195 posts)Playing with a lions testicles: An African saying that means to take foolhardy chances.
Melissa, an exhausted executive from the city seeks meaning and purpose from her work volunteers for a Big Five conservation project in South Africa. Her boss, an over-zealous ranger, nicknamed the Drill Sergeant, has no patience for city folk, especially if they're women.
He tries to send her packing on day one, but Melissa stands her ground with grit and determination, however shaky it may be.
Conflict soon sets the pace with a cast filled with predatory cats and violent elephants, an on-going battle of wits with the Drill Sergeant. Even Mother Nature pounds the reserve with the worst storm in a century.
But the most enduring and profound conflict is the internal battle going on within Melissa, as she tries to come to terms with the guilt surrounding her mother's death.
When death grips the game reserve, it is the very animals Melissa has come to save that end up saving her.
