It’s welcome family viewing, but thankfully it’s mostly without treacly sentiment or goofy interludes. Go to Full Review John Serba Decider 04/26/2023
It rigorously contextualizes the daily drama of desert-elephant life, without too much superficial cornball-documentary embellishments. Go to Full Review Joly Herman Common Sense Media 04/26/2023

Linda M @RT65952313 06/10/2024 A truly noble animal, very much underestimated & under appreciated. This documentary shows how the elephant families work together, communicate, survive & thrive in the harshest environment. Never realized that they communicate with each other & pass on information from generation to generation. Fascinating, majestic, wonderful creatures who need to be valued & protected. After watching this, you'll want to do whatever you can to do just that. See more Read all reviews
