Lion vs The Little People uncovers the shocking truth behind one of the greatest internet hoaxes of all time. In 2005, a hoax news post masquerading as a bona fide BBC news website article, announced a fight had taken place between a lion and an army of forty two fighting dwarfs. The hoax spread like wild fire across the internet before eventually being accepted to be fake. The article’s veracity in the public eye was diminished, however the myth lives on hidden in the deep web.
