Man Eaten By Lion in Africa

I am looking for translators to translate this post into Bulgarian. Email me if you are interested.

Many people insist that this video must be fake, and actually, it is, but it's still pretty interesting because it looks so real.

The story is that this is a very famous video that was taken in the mid-1970's in Africa on a safari. The tourist was apparently from London. It was entered as evidence in a court case. The insurance company used this tape evidence in court to deny the life insurance claim for the guy. They argued that the man engaged in "gross stupidity," and therefore they were not on the line for payout.

In truth, this video is fake. It is said to have occurred in Wallasee National Park in Angola in the mid-70's. There is no such place in Angola or anywhere in Africa.

The "attack victim" is named Pit Dernitz, and he has his own IMDB entry for this video. He is a very famous lion trainer.

This clip was taken from an Italian Mondo film called Ultime Grida Dalla Savana, which contains many similar clips.

This film was never entered into any court case.

A good overview of the controversy surrounding the film is here.
