The Urban Elephant

 

The film travels across North America and Asia, revealing the stories of seven individuals: Raja is a 55 year-old tusker who was blinded in both eyes when caught raiding crops in his homeland of Sri Lanka; Barbara has spent 45 years of her life performing in the circus; Pang Taew lives in the heart of Bangkok, working the streets with her owners in search of food...

 

Alternately heart-warming and heart-breaking, the film also considers what the future holds for these elephants living in a human world.
