Elefante

I learned a great deal about the Kalahari elephant herd from this documentary. I was unaware of the 8 month annual migration to ensure ongoing access to food and water, the matriarchal leadership within the herd and had forgotten about the long gestation period for elephants. I was immersed the story of Gaia, Shani and Jomo's journey. The cinematography was gorgeous and captivating. The production was also excellent. The narration captured the right tone for a family oriented story. The seriousness, the playfulness and the triumphs were skillfully conveyed by the narrator's voice. I thoroughly enjoyed "Elephant." I encourage others to watch with their families and transport yourselves to the world of the Okavango River Delta in Botswana.
