    So beautiful, so sad
    Loved it! Animals have the same emotional range as humans and elephants are no different. This documentary shows such a beautiful bond between the caretakers and the elephants. I wish everyone respected them the same way. These gentle giants don't deserve the hardship that humans cause to their environment and wellbeing. The documentary is so soothing to watch. This is a slice of life about an aged couple who is tasked with raising orphaned elephants. They are so gentle and caring towards the elephants that you can feel it through the screen.

    The film will make you happy but will also leave you teary eyed. Happy watching!
