Synopsis

What this film is

A four-year journey alongside Africa's largest elephant matriarch and the rangers who protect her.

Why we're raising

A long-term observational documentary requires patient capital. Backers fund a fourth and final shoot cycle, plus the score and color. 10% of net proceeds are donated to the anti-poaching unit featured in the film.
