Bone Dry is an epic, cinematic wildlife drama set in Tanzania’s Serengeti, following a clan of spotted hyenas through a year of shifting fortunes, where survival is never guaranteed and every dry season pushes life to the brink.

Filmed over the course of a year, the story follows the clan as they raise their young, defend their territory and adapt to the changing rhythms of the Serengeti. Their lives become increasingly entwined with those of a wildebeest family driven by the ancient pull of migration — one must hold its ground, while the other must keep moving in search of food and water.

As the dry season tightens its grip, grazing disappears, prey becomes scarce and the two worlds are drawn ever closer. Around them, lions, cheetahs and other predators bring rivalry, danger and opportunity to an increasingly unforgiving landscape.

Told through intimate, character-driven storytelling and bold cinematic imagery, Bone Dry is a gripping story of family, survival and adaptation in a Serengeti pushed to its limits.
