Anyone see the The Last Lions last night on Animal Planet ? It was so sad :(..

A lioness's mate gets killed when he is trying to protect his territory. She tries to protect her cubs and is sent into exile with her 3 cubs. The first cub died when a crocodile ate it. Then a few weeks or so (I can't really remember I misses 30 minutes) the two remaining cubs wondered off. She only finds one, the female. Then, the lioness goes hunting waterbuffalo, leaving her cub in some grass. While she is hunting, a waterbuffalo attacts the cub. The cub has a broken back. She tries to save it but then realizes "No amount of mothers love and licking wounds can mend a broken back". She makes the hard decision to leave the cub behind. Soon she meets a group of lionesses and they forum a hunting party. Then suddenly, her cub the one that had been lost suddenly appears.

That's really all I saw.

And it was appropriately narrated by Jeremy Irons.
