Brilliant

Ghost Elephants" is hauntingly beautiful , proper goosebumps stuff. It captures the wild soul of Africa with quiet power, showing how nature remembers even when humans forget. It is national geographic gold ....the kind of story that stays with you long after the credits roll and captutes the resilience of Africa's wilderness.

Epic watch !

Mesmerising adventure well worth the watch.A marvellously warm and engaging study. For those willing to piece the picture together from its most glorious sections, this is an affectionate and affection-inducing pursuit of real animals and unreachable dreams.The Bottom Line A poetic exploration of human obsession and mysterious nature.

Ghost elephants and searching humans

A thought-provoking look at a quest for elusive elephants. A rich, warm study of indigenous trackers and the natural world. Steve Boyd's knowledge and passion is beautifully portrayed through Werner Herzog's magical lens. A film for lovers of elephants, myths, nature and those searching for meaning in life on earth.
