If there is one thing that is really vital in this documentary, which has taken the filmmaker Ashley Bell several years to put together – so is it how patience you have to be, if you are trying to help an elephant (or several) who have been abused and threated very bad and ugly for many years of their life’s at circuses, amusement parks or as pets by rich people. This kindness and compassion have also, almost everyone that we meet in this documentary. It really stays that you can not bee an elephant rescuer if you are restless. No, the elephant caretaker Lek Chailert would never have been able to save over 150 elephants - from various captives in the last 20 years, if she had pushed some of her elephants over the limit. And that, of course, applies to the rescue operation that we get to follow in this movie. Because it definitely makes any idea of rescuing a 70-year-old elephant from a life in chains, if she also feels that the new home is as bad as the last one. So even though she is now partially blind and has started singing the last chorus, to use a Swedish expression – as we say when something are were old and on the brink of destruction, so is his elephant really strong. So, to transport her through a large part of Thailand to freedom. It must be done with a really gentle hand. And it is this journey that we see in this movie. And it is really breath taking.
