Wiki.
Løvejagten (Danish for "the lion hunt", English title: The Lion Hunt) was a controversial 1907 silent film by Danish producer Ole Olsen and director Viggo Larsen. The short ten-minute movie caused an enormous public protest in Denmark because it depicted the actual shooting of two captive lions.
