| User ReviewPat CThis documentary is so riveting. I had no idea that elephants are all trained in such a horrific manner. The best part is that this movie gives you hope, that the tide is turning. I saw this is Washington DC and it educated me in a profound way. I will never look at an elephant the same way. Thank you to all involved |
| User Reviewhoda pAn incredible documentary that brings awareness to the plight of the Asian elephant. It reminded me of what an amazing and beautiful creature the elephant is and it was heartbreaking to see how they have been treated. The film shows the incredible work of Lek Chailert and others to save these beautiful animals. I absolutely loved this film and would recommend it to all! Animal lovers or not, this one is a must see! |
