Flying Elephants - A Mother's Hope

This film is currently not available.   

A powerful and poetic short film about Asiatic elephants, Flying Elephants – A Mother’s Hope is inspired by a mythological tale from the ancient Hindu text Gajashastra. Narrated in the Betta Kuruba language by a tribal voice as the “mother elephant,” the film highlights the sacred status of elephants in Indian culture and the modern-day threats they face from habitat fragmentation and conflict. Emotionally evocative and visually striking, it emphasizes the sensitivity, intelligence, and deep social bonds of elephants. Launched on World Elephant Day 2021, the film reached over 100 million viewers across social platforms with endorsements from global influencers, including Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
