When Lambs Become Lions is an engrossing documentary that adheres to Don Harmon’s storytelling framework. The circumstances depicted in the documentary, in my opinion, fully parallel the second framework as opposed to the first. The primary protagonist, ‘X,’ is initially introduced. X is a poacher who is used to getting his hands dirty in order to achieve his task. X is used to how he gets around and has no problem with it. This fits the you component in Harmon’s storytelling framework because X is in the zone of comfort. The documentary enters the need phase when X’s boss orders him, along with Lukas and others to poach. X needs to get the job done in order to get paid to support his family. The poachers enter an unfamiliar situation when some Kenyan citizens stage a protest against poaching. X and Lukas adapt to the strike by laying low for a while, resisting the urge to poach. The hunters get what they want when they aim an arrow laced with poison at an elephant. However, the Kenyan government is onto the poaching activity since the elephant fell in the lake. When the Kenyan government burns over a dozen ivories on live television, the poachers pay a price. X, Lukas, and the other poachers return to their familiar lifestyles, looking for new ways to make a living. Finally, The change occurs at the end when X becomes a certified wildlife ranger.
