Where was The Lion filmed?

1962 film directed by Jack Cardiff

The Lion (1962) was shot in Kenya — and that is the whole of what Wikidata records. No street, no building, no studio: the statement names a country or a state and stops there.

Why there is no pin

A dot in the middle of Kenya would claim something nobody wrote, so this atlas leaves the statement as a sentence. The detail exists in the world — someone stood somewhere with a camera — it has simply never been written down as data. If you know where, it can be added to Wikidata, and this page fills in on the next rebuild.

Filming locations that are mapped there: Kenya

Its Wikipedia article also names Uganda as where this film was shot, without naming a place inside that could be pinned. That is prose rather than a Wikidata statement, and it is labelled here as such rather than guessed at.
