The Elephant Whisperers

Beyond the stigma of widow re-marriage and late matrimony, The Elephant Whisperers concentrates on the companionship that we all long for in our lives. The documentary intersperses the everyday lifestyle, the beliefs of the sons of the soil, and the human-animal relationship. Moments like Ammu lying on her mother’s lap, and Bellie no longer being scared of forests, make The Elephant Whisperers more than just a moving watch. As the documentary ends on the note that Bellie and Bomman are the first couple to successfully raise two orphaned elephants in south India, the documentary, in a sublime manner talks about the purity of souls, and how love stands tall above all. Sometimes humanity is all that is needed to recover from the edge of survival.
