Lion Spy: The Hunt For Justice reveals a young woman’s decade-long journey undercover in Africa to explore why lions in the wild are going extinct.

With footage poised to captivate and haunt its audiences as it did at its recent invitational screening at the UK Parliament aimed at hastening the end to lion trophy imports.
Rogue Rubin is best known as a commercial and unscripted TV director with over ten years of experience. She was born in Cape Town, South Africa to a Zimbabwean-born mother and a father born in South Africa. They left when she was young to pursue a different life in Australasia. Although she always knew directing was her passion she first attended law school before entering the entertainment industry.
Embark on Rogue’s exhilarating journey as an immigrant in America, where her life takes an electrifying turn as she crafts a real-life alias to return to Africa to infiltrate the male-dominated realm of big game hunting. From pursuing the American dream to a fateful social media encounter that sends her diving headfirst into a new life where every moment could be her last. Witness her fearless infiltration of the shadowy world of trophy hunters, risking it all to expose the grim reality threatening Africa’s most iconic species – the lion. With unmatched determination and resilience, she creates an identity of a “big game photographer and video intern,” braving a landscape fraught with peril and deceit.
