Elephant Refugees

[Available Nov. 18 on various VOD platforms.] Jerome Flynn narrates Louise Hogarth's award-winning, eye-opening, educational, depressing, unsettling, gut-wrenching, 82-minute, 2020 documentary highlighted by gorgeous cinematography that chronicles the plight of endangered elephants in drought-stricken, poacher-free eastern Botswana at the Elephant Sands sanctuary run by well-intentioned founders Marie and Ben Moller where hundreds of elephants seek safety from poachers and much-needed drinking water (each elephant can drink 30 gal. per day) as climate change worsens and consists of commentary by veterinarian Dr. Erik Verreynne, Moller's daughter Saskia and husband Mike, Moller's granddaughter Tanya Toth, and guide Rynhardt Erasmus.
