A creature once thought extinct and one of nature’s keenest observers. This documentary follows the faint traces of a mysterious elephant herd in Angola’s dense jungle. It’s not a purely scientific film but a primal exploration of nature’s beauty and brutality—an irresistible force for humanity.
Werner Herzog, awarded the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 1982, has made cinema a key tool of his worldview. A theater director and founder of a non-traditional film school, he is among the greatest living documentarians. His masterpieces Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972) and Fitzcarraldo (1982) are essential to film history.
